These 38 Republicans voted against the Trump-backed spending bill

Thirty-eight House Republican lawmakers voted against the President-elect Trump-backed government spending bill that failed to clear the lower chamber with just more than a day before the shutdown.

These GOP representatives voted Thursday against the measure that would have prevented a government shutdown and suspended the debt limit:

Aaron Bean (Fla.)
Andy Biggs (Ariz.)
Josh Brecheen (Okla.)
Tim Burchett (Tenn.)
Eric Burlison (Mo.)
Kat Cammack (Fla.)
Michael Cloud (Texas)
Andrew Clyde (Ga.)
Eli Crane (Ariz.)
John Curtis (Utah)
Jeff Duncan (S.C.)
Russ Fulcher (Idaho)
Bob Good (Va.)
Paul Gosar (Ariz.)
Andy Harris (Md.)
Wesley Hunt (Texas)
Doug Lamborn (Colo.)
Debbie Lesko (Ariz.)
Greg Lopez (Colo.)
Morgan Luttrell (Texas)
Nancy Mace (S.C.)
Thomas Massie (Ky.)
Richard McCormick (Ga.)
Cory Mills (Fla.)
Alexander Mooney (W.Va.)
Blake Moore (Utah)
Nathaniel Moran (Texas)
Ralph Norman (S.C.)
Andy Ogles (Tenn.)
Scott Perry (Pa.)
Bill Posey (Fla.)
Matt Rosendale (Mont.)
Chip Roy (Texas)
David Schweikert (Ariz.)
Keith Self (Texas)
Victoria Spartz (Ind.)
Thomas Tiffany (Wis.)
Beth Van Duyne (Texas)

The bill, which Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) presented just a few hours before it was voted on, failed with a 174-235-1 vote. It did not reach the two-thirds margin necessary to pass as it was brought under the suspension of the rules.

The legislation was presented as a plan B on Thursday after the initial bipartisan package was torpedoed following the opposition of a wide array of GOP House lawmakers and Trump’s public objection on Wednesday.

The new bill, which Trump supported and argued was “a very good Deal for the American people,” mustered support from two House Democrats, Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.).

Following the failed vote, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told reporters that the measure will not be dispatched to the Rules Committee.

“Not on this bill … not right now,” Scalise said. “We’re going to have some more talks. I won’t say anything’s dead because we’re going to continue having talks.”

The government will shut down if Capitol Hill lawmakers do not pass any spending legislation by 11:59 p.m. local time on Friday.
