Republican members of Congress have have largely voted along party lines, according to an updated Wednesday analysis from political statistics site 538.
Site founder Nate Silver tweeted out a rundown of Republican Senators Wednesday evening, calling out Sens. Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski as the only Republicans who voted against an issue supported by President Donald Trump.
Only 3 of 52 GOP senators have voted against Trump even once. Paul and Collins have done it twice each, and Murkowski did once. That’s it.

Murkowski and Collins both voted against Trump secretary of education nominee Betsy Devos, and Paul voted against Rep. Mike Pompeo for Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Other than those three members, Republican senators supported Trump’s policies and picks unanimously, and Republican members of the House weren’t far behind. The vast majority of Republican members of Congress also supported Trump-backed bills.
