Roll call · H.J.Res. 30 · 2023
Repeal ESG/climate investing rule
Killed the rule letting retirement plans weigh climate risk. A yes vote sided with fossil-fuel and asset-management interests.
What happened
This was a straight up-or-down vote. With more Yeas than Nays (50–46), it passed.
The tally
50 Yea · 46 Nay · 4 didn't vote. Officially recorded as “Passed 50-46.”
Did the no-shows matter?
Mike Crapo (R-ID), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), John Fetterman (D-PA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR) sat it out. And it was close enough to matter. Had those 4 voted Nay instead, it would have failed.
Party split
Yea: 2 Democrats, 48 Republicans. Nay: 43 Democrats, 3 Independents.
Crossed party lines
2 Democrats crossed over: Joseph Manchin (D-WV), Jon Tester (D-MT)
