The House on Tuesday passed a bill to protect same-sex marriage in federal law amid fears that it may be in danger following the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade earlier this year.
The vote was 267 to 157, with every Democrat voting in favor. Only 47 of the 211 House GOP members supported the bill.
Several House GOP leaders voted against the measure, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.). McCarthy said he voted against it because “it was a political game by Democrats.”
