Rand Paul is a weird one. He works with Doctors without borders. And doesn’t vote with trumplicans all the time. He is principled but all his principles arent great.
As of September 2, 2025, 46 of 53 Republican senators (87 percent) have voted in total compliance with the Trump White House; and all 53 voted with the administration at least 93 percent of the time.
Meanwhile, every member of the Senate Democratic caucus has voted with the White House at least once, though none have voted with the White House more than 29 percent of the time.
In the House, 196 of 220 Republican representatives (89 percent) have voted in lockstep with the White House’s priorities, providing “yes” votes for each of the bills the administration signified as a priority.
In addition, 218 Republicans (99 percent) have voted with the White House at least 95 percent of the time, whereas 15 of 214 House Democrats have never voted with the White House.
2026 elections people really need to pay attention to voting records of their officials.
