Voting analysis

Byron Donalds holds no committee leadership post in this data and has one of the highest departure counts of any Republican on this site. That combination turns out not to be a coincidence. Across the members written up here, the ones who break ranks most often are overwhelmingly the ones without a gavel — and the ones who chair something depart least. A leadership position is a set of obligations as much as a set of powers.

Rank among House Republicans, most defections first

Eight votes on one bill

The bulk of his departures are amendment votes attached to a single spending measure — eight of them, one after another, almost all rejected. That is not eight disagreements. It is one disagreement, expressed at every opportunity the amendment calendar allowed, which is what a member does when the committee process has already gone against them.

The rest are noes on bills his own conference carried, including a housing act.
