I’d imagine there’s quite a lot of them. A quick browse through Wikipedia, Dan Sullivan home is in anchorage, Rubio lives in Miami, Jim Risch lives in Boise, Jerry Moran lives in Manhattan, KS, Bill Cassidy lives in Baton Rouge, Steve Daines lives in Gallatin which went for Biden while Tester lives in a county that Trump won by 60+%, Richard Burr is from Winston-Salem, Tim Scott is from Charleston, Bill Hagerty is from Nashville, Cornyn is from San Antonio and Cruz is from Houston, all of them likely live in precincts that voted the opposite from them. Joe Manchin is also a candidate, but Charleston West Virginia is the most democratic of places in the state so it’d be. Be down to the precinct.

Republicans complain about cultural elites and liberal Democratic-run cities, but then they turn around and live in those very places.

Correction:  National politicians are just generally a well-educated, rich lot so they are of course going to mostly live in monied suburbs.

Party affiliation also has crack to do with it.  Do Democratic senators live among their "base" voters in the South Bronx or Compton?  lol 

I'll bite,

several of them do. Jon Tester, who tends to appeal to the white working class trumpians lives just there, Big Sandy. Raphael Warnock lives in urban Atlanta, I couldn't find his exact address but he is/was a pastor at Ebenezer Baptist which is located in the heart of black Atlanta. Booker is famous for living in rough parts of Newark for most of his life. Sherrod Brown's home is in Cleveland. Bob Casey is from Scranton, another WWC type town. There are dozens of representatives down ballot in the House and local level that live in the areas they represent.

I'm pretty sure from what I've gathered that the infinitely odious Andy Harris, who represents what is drawn as a firm Republican pack, lives in a Biden precinct in Cockeysville. His district as a whole trended quite heavily Dem in 2020, and especially the area around where he lives. When I lived in his district, before he represented it, it was in what is still a very firmly Republican area in one of its most conservative counties (Queen Anne's).

I’m not even sure that’s in his district. I know for a fact that Rep. Tom McClintock’s home is not even in his district, claiming a town in Sacramento county which is not in his district
