Bipartisan Wins — Bills That Crossed the Aisle

Bipartisan Wins — Bills That Crossed the Aisle

Most bills die in committee. Of those that pass, most pass on party-line votes. A small minority — usually under 15% — pass with substantial support from both parties. Those bipartisan wins are where the actual lawmaking happens.

This page lists every bill in the 119th Congress that has cleared at least one chamber with 30%+ support from both parties. Each entry shows what the bill does, who sponsored it, and the final vote breakdown.

Frequently Asked

How do you define “bipartisan”?

A bill that received at least 30% support from both Democrats and Republicans on its passage vote in at least one chamber. The exact threshold is configurable.

Do bipartisan bills become law more often?

Yes — bills that pass at least one chamber with bipartisan support become law roughly 4x more often than party-line bills, though most still don’t make it through both chambers.

What kinds of bills tend to be bipartisan?

Naming buildings, technical fixes to existing law, narrow regulatory bills, military authorizations, and a handful of substantive reforms each session. Major economic and social legislation is overwhelmingly party-line.

Why does Purple Voice surface this?

Bipartisan votes are an underreported indicator of which members can actually legislate vs. perform. The list is short; the consequence is large.
