Over thirty House Republicans voted Friday against a bill to avert a partial government shutdown.

Lawmakers scrambled to reach consensus on a spending package ahead of the looming partial government shutdown deadline on Friday. An initial 1,547-page bipartisan deal that would have extended the government funding deadline until March 14 was released on Tuesday night, but the proposal crumbled after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the spending bill.

A more condensed, Trump-backed version was brought to the floor on Thursday night, but failed to pass. 

In a last minute vote on Friday, the House succeeded in passing a funding bill — with 34 Republicans voting against the legislation, and zero Democrats voting against it. One Democrat, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, voted present.

HOUSE PASSES FUNDING BILL WITH JUST HOURS UNTIL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Among those who voted against the bill was Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who told Fox News Digital “I don’t know why we’re giving Joe Biden $100 billion to play with in 30 days.”

“Oddly enough, it didn’t have what Trump wanted most of all,” Burchett said just minutes after voting against the bill. 

Other House members who voted against the bill include:
