Analysis: Congress came together in surprisingly bipartisan fashion last week to avoid a potentially catastrophic default on the nation’s debt. But Republicans elected in the Trump era were more likely to vote “no” (41 percent) than others (17 percent).

A significant reason for that? It appears to be connected to the crop of Republicans who have come into office during the Trump era. But if you look at those serving four or fewer terms, the percentage of Republican “no” votes shoots from 17 percent to 41 percent, while Democrats stay steady at 23 percent.While just 19 percent of Republicans older than 70 voted against the debt ceiling deal, that increased to 31 percent of those ages 50 to 70. Among those younger than 50, it went up to 40 percent.
