Joe Biden may have lost the support of congressional Democrats for his reelection effort last year, but he maintained support for his priorities, including making gains among Republicans in both chambers, during his final year in the White House.
On votes on which Biden took a position, the Senate Democratic majority stuck with the president on 95 percent of them, while House Democrats did so on 88 percent of the votes, according to CQ Roll Call’s annual vote studies. The House figure, however, marked the lowest score for the president of his four years in office.
Biden made up for that drop in intraparty support by seeing the House Republican majority back his position on nearly 1 in 5 votes – going from 5 percent support in 2023 to 19 percent last year. Senate Republicans went from backing him on 18 percent of votes in 2023 to 25 percent last year.
