Representative Mikie Sherrill's 92.6% Voting Alignment with Biden Agenda Under Scrutiny

U.S. Representative Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) is facing renewed criticism from conservative circles regarding her voting record, particularly her alignment with the Biden administration. A recent tweet from "Rothmus 🏴" quoted former President Donald Trump, who labeled Sherrill a "fake and corrupt radical left Democrat who would send the state into a death spiral." The tweet further asserted that Sherrill is "not a 'centrist'" and "rubber stamped EVERY SINGLE Biden administration agenda.

Analysis by FiveThirtyEight indicates that Representative Sherrill voted with President Joe Biden's stated position 100% of the time in the 117th Congress and 92.6% of the time in the 118th Congress through 2023. This high degree of alignment underscores the criticism that she consistently supports the administration's legislative priorities. While largely voting with her party, Sherrill notably joined a bipartisan group in February 2023 to vote in favor of terminating the COVID-19 national emergency.

The tweet also highlighted Sherrill's voting against several high-profile Republican-led disciplinary actions. She voted against the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and against initiating an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, aligning with the Democratic caucus on both measures. House records confirm that no Democrat voted to impeach Mayorkas or to begin an impeachment inquiry into Biden.

Furthermore, the tweet claimed Sherrill voted against censuring Representatives Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, and Jamaal Bowman. While specific individual votes on these censure resolutions are not always readily available for every member, the House voted to remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee in February 2023, and later censured Schiff in June 2023 and Bowman in December 2023. These votes were largely partisan, with Democrats generally opposing such measures.

Representative Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot and federal prosecutor, has served New Jersey's 11th congressional district since 2019. Initially joining the moderate New Democrat Coalition and the Blue Dog Coalition (which she later left), her voting record reflects a strong adherence to the Democratic Party platform. She is currently the Democratic nominee for Governor of New Jersey in the 2025 election, where her congressional record is expected to remain a central point of debate.
