In class, we looked at this histogram.

# load packages
library(tidyverse)

# load ideology scores data set
nom <- read_csv("https://pos3713.github.io/data/nominate.csv")

# keep only legislators from the 115th congress
nom115 <- filter(nom, congress == 115) 

# plot
ggplot(nom115, aes(x = ideology, fill = party)) + 
  geom_histogram() + 
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("Democrat" = "blue", "Republican" = "red"))
