Mitch McConnell

Of the 118 laws passed since January 3, 2025, 38 came to a recorded vote in the Senate while McConnell is a member. The rest passed the Senate by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.

McConnell votes Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention; the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the 2025 tax and spending law; the HALT Fentanyl Act; the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar); the Rescissions Act of 2025, which cancelled about $9 billion in approved spending; the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026; and the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law.

On funding the government, McConnell votes Yes on the March 2025 full-year funding law; the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown; the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA; and the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies.

Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the Senate in that time. McConnell votes to cancel 21 and against cancelling 0, and did not vote on 3. The rules McConnell votes to cancel come from: Interior: Bureau of Land Management (6), Environmental Protection Agency (6), Energy (3), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (2), Treasury: Comptroller of the Currency (1), Interior: National Park Service (1), Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1) and Interior: Ocean Energy Management (1).

McConnell votes the same way as most Senate Republicans on all 32 of these Yes and No votes.

McConnell did not vote on the Russia and Iran sanctions law; the September 2026 funding extension; the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act; the law that cancels a District of Columbia law that changed how D.C.'s income and business taxes follow federal tax rules; the law that cancels a land agency plan for central Alaska that set aside large areas for conservation and limited development; and the law that cancels an Energy Department rule on how appliance makers certify, label and report the energy use of their products.
