Over thirty Republicans in the House of Representatives voted against it on Friday an invoice to avert 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 was released Tuesday evening that would have extended the state funding deadline to March 14, but the proposal failed according to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the spending bill.
A shortened version supported by Trump was brought to the floor on Thursday evening, but failed.
In a last-minute vote on Friday, the House of Representatives managed to pass a funding bill – 34 Republicans voted against the bill and zero Democrats voted 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 enough, it didn’t have what Trump wanted most,” Burchett said just minutes after voting against the bill.
