New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, who's been busy traveling to early primary states, has missed 118 Senate votes in 2019. Right behind him is California Senator Kamala Harris, who has missed 116 votes.
Most of these have been procedural votes to confirm judges or Trump administration cabinet members, which are cases where only a 50 percent majority is needed. Because the Democrats are in the minority in the Senate, it's highly unlikely Booker's votes would've changed any outcomes. Still, will voters hold this against him?
"If voters held the Senate in higher esteem, this might be a higher profile issue," Claremont McKenna professor Jack Pitney told a Bay Area newspaper. "But blowing off an institution that most people don’t respect to begin with is unlikely to move a lot of votes." (The Mercury News)
