The 34 Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted against a bill to avert a partial government shutdown

More than 30 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted Friday against a bill aimed at averting a partial government shutdown.

Lawmakers were scrambling to reach consensus on a spending package before Friday’s deadline for a partial government shutdown. An initial 1,547-page bipartisan deal that would have extended the federal funding deadline to March 14 was released Tuesday evening, but the proposal failed after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the spending bill.

A shortened version supported by Trump was presented Thursday evening but failed to pass.

In a last-minute vote Friday, the House managed to pass a funding bill, with 34 Republicans voting against the bill and zero Democrats voting against it. One Democrat, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, voted present.

Among those who voted against the bill was Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who told Fox News Digital, “I don’t know why we’re giving Joe Biden $100 billion to play with in 30 days.”

“Oddly, it didn’t have what Trump wanted most.”
