The AP and the Guardian obtained a January 2019 letter in which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asked Samoa's prime minister to let his team study the country's MMR vaccines. He told senators the trip had nothing to do with vaccines. Fourteen Republicans we track voted to confirm him.

In May 2021 Hagerty introduced a bipartisan $3.265 billion bridge repair program, citing Memphis's shut-down I-40 bridge. That exact program went into the infrastructure law — and in August he ground the Senate to a halt to delay it, then voted no.
Hagerty authored the GENIUS Act, the first federal crypto law. It says in its own text that stablecoins get no FDIC insurance. Within two weeks of Senate passage, the CEOs of Coinbase and Ripple maxed out to his campaign.

Trump's HHS scrapped the rule capping child care copays at 7% of a family's income. On July 30 the Senate had a chance to undo it. These 14 Republicans we track voted no.

In the early morning of June 5, the Senate voted 52-47 to pour nearly $70 billion into ICE and Border Patrol with no oversight, no transparency, and a new slush fund for punishing 'non-cooperating' cities. Here are the senators with report cards on this site who voted yes.
