Here’s a list of the 38 Republicans who defied Trump by voting “no” on the failed spending bill

A bill backed by President-elect Donald Trump to avert a partial government shutdown failed in the House of Representatives on Thursday evening, bringing Congress closer to a government shutdown.

The bill, which had received the approval of President-elect Donald Trump, still lost support from 38 Republicans.

The deal lost about 235 to 174, receiving only two Democratic yes votes and 197 Democratic no votes.

It comes after two days of chaos in Congress as lawmakers argued among themselves over a path forward on government spending – a fight joined by Trump and his allies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Now it is National debt has risen to over $36 trillion, and the federal deficit is over $1.8 trillion.

The new deal also includes several key policies unrelated to maintaining government openness, but the 116-page bill is much narrower than its 1,547-page predecessor.

‘HELL NO’: MAIN DEMS erupt over Republican spending deal

Like the original bill, the new version extended the federal funding deadline to March 14 while also suspending the debt ceiling — something Trump had pushed for. This also included $110 billion in disaster relief and an extension of the farm bill.

“Why should we give Joe Biden more money so late in his term?” Rep. Bob Good, D-Va., said after the vote. “The money earmarked for the disaster victims should have been paid, there should have been compensation payments.”

The Democrats who voted “yes” for the bill were Reps. Kathy Castor, D-Fla., and Marie Gleusenkamp Perez, D-Washington.
