[OC] Partisan Lean of the last 10 US Congressional Sessions – Based on Votes/Sponsorships (2005-2024)

1. Hi All! See the full interactive here: [https://votesee.org/analytics/party-change-over-time](https://votesee.org/analytics/party-change-over-time)

   This is entirely based on bills voted on and sponsored in the house and senate – note that the current session has not completed yet. I can update when we’re in the new year!

   You can play with topic filters in the interactive – Abortion, Guns, Taxation, etc. Issues like Defense Spending (that don’t have a consistent partisan lean) can get a little wonky.

   Let me know if you have any questions!

2. Balance like all things should be

3. Would be cool to see the majority/minority leaders on each side during each Congress as well. But this is a neat post.

   Also interesting to see the “wobble” settle. I wonder if that’s happening anywhere else and how that’s affected their politics.

4. Clear lean toward the interests of the ultra wealthy if you look closely
