In a dramatic Friday vote, the House passed a short-term funding bill, narrowly preventing a partial government shutdown. The legislation, however, faced significant opposition from within the Republican party, with 34 members voting against it and one Democrat voting present. No Democrats voted against the measure.

The bill's passage follows days of intense negotiations and failed attempts to reach a consensus on government funding. An earlier, more extensive bipartisan proposal collapsed after criticism from influential figures including Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. A subsequent, streamlined version backed by former President Trump also failed to gain sufficient support.

Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett, among those opposing the bill, questioned the allocation of funds to the Biden administration and noted the absence of key provisions sought by former President Trump. Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado, also voting against the measure, expressed her anticipation for Trump's return to office.

Other Republicans who voted against the bill include Representatives Jim Banks of Indiana, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Michael Cloud of Texas, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, Eli Crane of Arizona, John Curtis of Utah, Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee, Russ Fulcher of Idaho, Tony Gonzales of Texas, Bob Good of Virginia, Lance Gooden of Texas, Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, Andy Harris of Maryland, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, Wesley Hunt of Texas, Debbie Lesko of Arizona, Greg Lopez of Colorado, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Rich McCormick of Georgia, Cory Mills of Florida, Alex Mooney of West Virginia, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Matt Rosendale of Montana, Chip Roy of Texas, Keith Self of Texas, Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, and Beth Van Duyne of Texas.

The bill now moves to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. President Biden has indicated he will sign the legislation if it passes the Senate.
