Five senators have declared bids for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination: Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kamala Harris of California and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. At least two more ― Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent ― are expected to join the fray.
Although they’ve often voted as a bloc on hot-button issues like Obamacare repeal and President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and Supreme Court appointments, these seven senators have disagreed on a range of other bills, and on Trump’s various executive and judicial nominations that have come before the Senate.
HuffPost examined the legislative record dating back to the start of the 115th Congress ― the beginning of Trump’s presidency ― in cases where at least one of the senators’ positions has differed from the others. The results are striking: While the list shows differences on a number of minor motions and resolutions, it also includes substantial areas of disagreement on big issues like health care, foreign policy and immigration, all of which are likely to come up in the Democratic primary debates.
Harris is the only senator from the bunch who opposed a deal that would have fully funded Trump’s proposed border wall in exchange for permanent protections to young undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers.
Booker is the only one who opposed a proposal that would have created a reserve fund to allow Americans to import inexpensive prescription drugs from Canada. That vote could reinforce criticism that the New Jersey Democrat is too cozy with the U.S. pharmaceutical industry.
Klobuchar is the only one of the seven who supported last week’s GOP package that aims to curtail rising support for the boycott-Israel movement despite criticism from civil liberties advocates that it runs afoul of the First Amendment.
Sanders is the only senator from the lot who opposed levying sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea last year. He said he did so in order to protect the Iran deal, but some critics faulted him at the time for failing to punish Russia over election meddling.
Some of the most striking contrasts among the declared and likely presidential contenders concern their votes on Trump’s judicial and executive nominees. In general, among the seven senators, Gillibrand voted most often against confirming Trump’s picks to the courts and his Cabinet, a record that she’ll likely play up on the campaign trail. Klobuchar, on the other hand, supported Trump’s nominees much more often than others, voting to confirm many of his undersecretaries and district and circuit court judges.
Certain confirmation votes could come back to haunt candidates more than others:
Klobuchar, Sanders and Brown voted to confirm John Kelly as Trump’s head of the Department of Homeland Security. The retired general presided over the administration’s controversial ban on people from majority-Muslim nations from entering the U.S.
Brown is the only one of the seven who voted to confirm Ben Carson as Housing and Urban Development secretary and scandal-plagued Ryan Zinke as head of the Interior Department.
