More than thirty House Republicans voted against it on Friday an invoice to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Lawmakers scrambled to reach a consensus on a spending package ahead of Friday’s partial government shutdown deadline. An initial bipartisan 1,547-page deal that would have extended the government’s funding deadline to March 14 was released late Tuesday, but the proposal collapsed. after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the expenditure bill.
A more condensed version, backed by Trump, was introduced Thursday night, however it couldn’t happen.
In a last-minute vote Friday, the House managed to pass a funding bill, with 34 Republicans voting against the legislation and zero Democrats voting for it. One Democrat, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, voted absent.
