As Donald Trump gears up for the first State of the Union address of his second term, he’s seen a slight uptick in Republican opposition amid his sagging poll numbers and nationwide concerns over the health of the economy.
But in 2025, Trump compiled a record of party support that stands apart from his predecessors and even from his own first term, as his nominations were confirmed at a record pace and GOP leaders muscled through the signature piece of his policy agenda.
On votes on which he took a position, Trump had the support of 96 percent of Senate Republicans and 95 percent of House Republicans, according to CQ Roll Call’s annual vote studies. The Senate figure tied the Republican high in the chamber set in 2017, Trump’s first year in the White House. The House percentage broke the previous record for Republican presidential support in the chamber, 93 percent, also set in 2017.
