Here are the 34 Republicans that voted against the funding bill to avoid shutdown

More than 30 House Republicans voted against the government funding bill to avert a shutdown on Friday night. 

The legislation cleared the lower chamber with a 366-34-1 vote, surpassing the two-thirds requirement needed as the Republican House leadership brought it up under the suspension of the rules process. Every member of the Democratic caucus, outside of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (Texas), who voted present, supported the modified funding package alongside 170 GOP lawmakers. 

Here are the 34 Republican House members who voted against the continuing resolution to keep the government funded just hours before the midnight deadline:

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) presented the bill just a few hours before members voted on it. The package would fund the government at current levels, designate billions for disaster relief and extend the farm bill for one year. The bill did not raise the debt limit, something President-elect Trump advocated for as the legislation was negotiated.

Johnson, whose speakership gavel has come into question in light of his handling of funding negotiations, touted the package as “America First’ legislation.” 

“In January, we will make a sea change in Washington. President Trump will return to D.C. and to the White House, and we will have Republican control of the Senate and the House. Things are going to be very different around here,” Johnson said

“This was a necessary step to bridge the gap, to put us into that, that moment where we can put our fingerprints on the final decisions on spending for 2025,” he added.
