Here Is Full List of Republicans Who Opposed Spending Bill Which Received Unanimous Dem Support

Trent Walker1 Comment

On Friday, the House of Representatives passed a government funding bill, narrowly averting a shutdown just before the midnight deadline.

The bill, which received unanimous support from Democratic lawmakers, faced opposition from 38 Republican members who voted against it.

The approved legislation provides temporary funding to keep federal operations running until March 14, 2025, and includes $100 billion for disaster relief and $10 billion for agricultural assistance.

However, it excludes Trump’s demand to raise the debt ceiling.

The House approved the funding bill with a ‘bipartisan’ vote of 366-34, sending it to the Senate for swift passage.

More Democrats supported the new bill, with a vote count of 196 to 170.

The 34 GOP lawmakers opposing the bill cited concerns over increased spending and the absence of significant fiscal reforms.

The 34 Republicans who voted against the resolution are:

  • Jim Banks (R-IN)
  • Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
  • Dan Bishop (R-NC)
  • Lauren Boebert (R-CO)
  • Josh Brecheen (R-OK)
  • Tim Burchett (R-TN)
  • Eric Burlison (R-MO)
  • Michael Cloud (R-TX)
  • Andrew Clyde (R-GA)
  • Eli Crane (R-AZ)
  • John Curtis (R-UT)
  • Scott DesJarlais (R-TN)
  • Russ Fulcher (R-ID)
  • Tony Gonzales (R-TX)
  • Bob Good (R-VA)
  • Lance Gooden (R-TX)
  • Glenn Grothman (R-WI)
  • Andy Harris (R-MD)
  • Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
  • Wesley Hunt (R-TX)
  • Debbie Lesko (R-AZ)
  • Monica De La Cruz Lopez (R-TX)
  • Nancy Mace (R-SC)
  • Thomas Massie (R-KY)
  • Rich McCormick (R-GA)
  • Cory Mills (R-FL)
  • Alex Mooney (R-WV)
  • Andy Ogles (R-TN)
  • Scott Perry (R-PA)
  • Matt Rosendale (R-MT)
  • Chip Roy (R-TX)
  • Keith Self (R-TX)
  • Tom Tiffany (R-WI)
  • Beth Van Duyne (R-TX)

Below are some of the statements from the Republicans who voted against the bill:

Rep. Andy Biggs wrote, “I voted against continuing to bankrupt our future generations. The credit card is maxed out, but the Uniparty just keeps swiping it. Watch for more.”

Rep. Josh Brecheen wrote, “My conscience led me to a “no” as the bill increases spending by over 100 billion and does NOT offer real spending cuts, therefore allowing inflation to continue. My mind is on all Oklahoma families, farmers, and ranchers who have lost approximately 20 percent of their purchasing power since 2020 because of Congress’s continual deficit spending.”

Rep. Tim Burchett wrote, “We got played. No Democrats voted against it. More voted for it than Republicans.”

Rep. Michael Cloud wrote, “Folks who claim House Conservatives aren’t backing President Trump are missing the point. The issue is not with President Trump at all. We are the ones who most support his agenda here. We’re trying to protect the chance to implement it next year. The issue here is with a Washington establishment who claims to be pro-Trump and then never actually follows through when the time comes. Cutting spending, building the wall, ending pointless wars — all things the Swamp says they want to do and then makes excuses for later. We want actual commitments that they’ll pass President Trump’s policies rather than saying one thing at Christmas and then making excuses when it’s time to deliver. We’re working on that and making progress.”

Rep. Andrew Clyde wrote, “I fully support delivering disaster and farm aid. Yet, as with all government funding, this aid must be done in a fiscally responsible manner. I cannot in good conscience vote for legislation that adds $110 billion to the deficit, which is why I offered House GOP Leadership numerous options to pay for this aid. Unfortunately, all of these offsets were rejected. I’m a NO on the current CR.”

Rep. Eli Crane wrote, “We’re $36 trillion in debt and Congress is still spending at levels set by Nancy Pelosi. We have to start spending less. Any new necessary spending has to be offset with corresponding cuts. We have to break the cycle if we’re ever going to fix this place.”

Rep. John Curtis wrote, “I understand the importance of helping our farmers and those impacted by natural disasters. However, we cannot treat these manufactured shutdown-showdowns as a blank check for more spending. Congress should always find savings to offset new expenditures. I have six kids and seventeen grandkids, and like every parent and grandparent, I want to leave them a stronger, more secure future. That’s why I’m deeply concerned about the out-of-control spending in Washington-it has to stop. In Utah, we teach our children the importance of living within their means and avoiding unnecessary debt. It’s a principle embedded in our state’s constitution, and it’s one we should hold ourselves to at the federal level. It’s time for a different kind of conversation on spending-one that leads to consensus and a more prosperous America.”

Rep. Russ Fulcher wrote, “With very limited time to review, I could not in good conscience vote for yesterday’s spending bill that raised the debt limit by early estimates of $4 trillion without corresponding spending cuts. It is disingenuous to the American people to utilize the budget continuation process—a Continuing Resolution (CR)—to create a spending bill that has unrelated expenditures like the Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement and Medicaid DSH that are not offset. The United States is at a critical fiscal inflection point. Our national debt hit a staggering $36 trillion last month, with annual interest payments projected to reach one trillion in 2025. The time to address this crisis and reign in spending is now.”

Rep. Nancy Mace wrote, “I oppose the Continuing Resolution for the third time. This bill signs off on continuing the $1.778 trillion in Biden-Pelosi level spending from the last CR and includes no cuts, and no accountability. Instead of single-subject bills, we get handed a fiscal trainwreck. The American people are watching. We can, and should do better.”

Rep. Cory Mills wrote, “The solution was simple, explained but ignored: – Standalone bill for disaster relief -Standalone bill for agriculture – Bare minimum gov funding given Biden has 30-days left and this gives him inflated funding to use with weaponizing DoJ and other payment wishlists Then on Jan 20th we could have approved a budget for President Trump to achieve his agenda.”

Rep. Scott Perry wrote, “I’m not into bankrupting the Country. I’m voting no.”

Rep. Matt Rosendale wrote, Just cast my last vote representing the great state of Montana. Unlike many people, I concluded my service the same way I began it – fighting against overreaching government and out-of-control spending!”

Rep. Keith Self wrote, “America is $36 trillion in debt. Congress, once again, purposefully ran out the clock and is attempting to force through another spending package at the 11th hour with Democrat votes. I am a No. January 20th can’t come soon enough. We need to change Washington.”

Rep. Tom Tiffany wrote, “We cannot continue to spend taxpayer dollars without offsets. Each item deserves a separate vote so the People can see how their money is being spent. This should not be crammed into one package that adds to our national debt. That’s why I voted NO on the latest CR package.”

Rep. Wesley Hunt wrote:

“Since becoming a United States Congressman, I have steadfastly opposed continuing resolutions. The people of Congressional District 38 sent me to Washington to reduce the size of government, not to hand it a blank check.

This week, with the strength of your voices, we stopped the swamp from forcing a 1,500-page omnibus—masquerading as a continuing resolution—down our throats. It’s a grim Washington tradition this time of year.

For years, my brave colleagues and I have been sounding the alarm, demanding single-subject spending bills—individual appropriations that fund the government responsibly and transparently. Yet, year after year, those calls are ignored, and the swamp continues to operate as usual.

So why are we on the brink of a government shutdown?

It’s because Congress persists in governing through continuing resolutions—a reckless practice akin to handing a limitless credit card to a five-year-old. And now, the bill has come due.

At the 11th hour, we are handed bloated spending bills with no time to read them and little time to debate them.

In my first two years in Congress, I’ve witnessed an alarming amount of time spent on renaming post offices and passing nonbinding resolutions condemning every imaginable issue. But when it comes to the hard work of crafting single-subject spending bills and individual appropriations, there’s suddenly no time.

Is it truly a lack of time that forces these last-minute, unacceptable spending increases and pork-filled packages? Or is the system deliberately designed to function this way?

The national debt stands at $36 trillion and climbing.

This is not leadership.
This is not sustainable.”

This is a part of the globalist take-down of America, by destroying our economic ability to function as a nation, forcing us to their 1 world system; nothing more or less! EVERY “yay” vote was cast by a public enemy of the Constitution to which he took a solemn oath, and to the citizen constituents who voted him to that office! The sooner the rest of the folks in America, besides those who voted “nay” on this bill and those who voted wisely to send them to Congress, NEEDS to grasp this truth, and realize they are committing national suicide coupled with personal enslavement much like the feudal system of the “Dark Ages”!
