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

On December 20, 2024By Littum

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

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

The deal lost 235 to 174, garnering just 2 Democratic yes votes and 197 Democratic nays.

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

Meanwhile national debt has risen to over $36 trillion and the national deficit is over $1.8 trillion.

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

‘HELL NO’: HOUSE DEMS ERUP OVER GOP SPENDING DEAL

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

“Why should we give Joe Biden more money this late in his administration?” said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., after the vote. “The money meant for disaster victims should have been paid, there should have been offsets.

The Democrats who voted ‘yes’ to the legislation were Reps. Kathy Castor, Florida, and Marie Gleusenkamp Perez, Wash.
