Do Two Democratic Senators ‘Vote More’ With Republicans?

During an event commemorating the Tulsa Massacre on Tuesday, President Joe Biden claimed that the Democratic Party “only has a majority of effectively four votes in the House and a tie in the Senate, with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends.”

Biden didn’t name the two senators, but his comments are widely being interpreted to refer to Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
