WASHINGTON – A House Republican bill that would fund the government for three months and suspend the debt ceiling for two years failed Thursday night as dozens of rank-and-file Republicans voted against the deal endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump.

With no agreement to fund the federal government and no legislation passed and signed into law by the House and Senate, a partial shutdown will begin late Friday evening.

A total of 38 Republicans voted against the bill drafted by their own party’s leaders. The 38 were joined by all Democrats except two who voted in favor and one who voted present.

It was unclear late Thursday what House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., would do next, given the level of opposition to the bill within his own party.

Trump and his ally Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, had already doomed an earlier funding proposal on Wednesday by sharply criticizing its provisions, leaving Republicans scrambling for much of Thursday over a replacement plan.

The last failed version of the continuing resolution would have suspended the U.S. debt ceiling for two years. The cap is the maximum amount that the federal government can borrow to finance its expenses.

This suspension was a surprising, last-minute addition to the proposal, as raising the debt ceiling typically requires months of negotiations.

But Trump said Wednesday he doesn’t want to take office in January and immediately face a vote in Congress on the debt limit. Trump this week called for the permanent abolition of the debt ceiling.

The new proposal also included a $110 billion expansion of disaster and agricultural aid, a key demand of House Democrats.

Although Democrats hold a minority of seats in the House of Representatives, Republicans only have a handful of seats in the majority, making it difficult to pass significant legislation without at least a modicum of bipartisan support.
