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 .

Democrats cited threats to same-sex marriage as suggested by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who urged justices to reexamine the issue in light of the courts decision to overturn Roe v. Wades protection of abortion rights. Several GOP senators have also called the 2015 Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage wrongly decided.

Same-sex marriage is broadly popular with the American people. Last month, Gallup found that a record high of 71% of Americans support it, including a majority of Republicans .
