The claim's referent is unclear: the passage says "ALL of this" but the list it refers to is not in the sources.

What we found

Supports. FactCheck.org reports that not a single Democrat in either the House or Senate voted for the OBBBA, which cut taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security.[1]

Supports. Coverage of the tax bill reports no Democrats voted for it in the Senate and none were expected to in the House.[6]

Context. The White House release asserts that every Democrat voted against the largest tax cut and lists No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime and No Tax on Social Security among the relief Democrats tried to block; this is a partisan source and does not identify a separate vote on each item.[3]

Context. FactCheck.org notes that many Democratic candidates say they oppose the bill for other reasons, such as tax cuts skewed to the wealthy and Medicaid cuts, and that many support the tips, overtime and older-Americans provisions themselves, so a vote against the bill is not necessarily a vote against each provision.[1]

Context. Other sources concern different votes (NDAA, the Israel boycott bill, tariff amendments, a government funding plan) and do not address the list the claim refers to.[2][4][5][7]
