In a recent House vote, 38 Republican lawmakers opposed a continuing resolution endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump, aimed at preventing a government shutdown and advancing the 'America First' agenda.

Earlier on Thursday, President Trump described the new government funding bill as "VITAL to the America First Agenda" and called on all Republicans to vote in favor.

Trump wrote:

Donald Trump called out Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) on Thursday for obstructing the new funding bill and called for him to face a primary challenge.

However, the Trump-endorsed plan to prevent a government shutdown failed to pass, with 38 GOP members joining Democrats in opposition.

The proposed legislation aimed to extend government funding for three months, providing over $100 billion in disaster relief and aid for farmers. It also sought to suspend the nation's borrowing limit for two years. However, the bill fell short of the required majority.

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

Rep. Keith Self wrote, "Congress failed again in its responsibility to fund the government on time. While the most egregious items were taken out of the original CR, I cannot support the negotiated deal that raises the debt by $4 trillion rather than making the cuts necessary to rein in government spending."

Josh Brecheen wrote, "My conscience led me to a "no" as the bill increases spending by over 100 billion, increases the debt limit, 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."

Tim Burchett wrote, "I voted no on a Trillion Dollar CR that I wasn't even allowed to read."

Rep. Andrew Clyde wrote, "My constituents sent me to Congress to save our Republic. Not to worsen Washington's deficit spending problem and increase the debt ceiling by $4+ trillion—with zero reforms or spending cuts. I'm a HARD NO on the CR + debt limit hike."

Rep. Russ Fulcher wrote, "We do not have the money for endless government spending. The time to address our nation's fiscal crisis is now!"

Rep. Bob Good wrote, "The bad spending package just got worse, and it now includes an inexcusable unlimited 2-year debt ceiling increase with no spending cuts!!!"

Rep. Nancy Mace wrote, "It's not the number of pages that matter – it's what's in those pages. This CR had the same level of spending today as it did yesterday, but the debt ceiling was suspended, meaning there was no limit on the debt. I don't trust Congress or the government to spend responsibly without any limits."

"I cannot in good conscience vote to continue Joe Biden spending levels months into Trump's presidency. If we did a very short CR that took us to Jan. 20th only or if we had single subject votes on the spending measures inside the bill – there likely would have been a lot more support. We are $36 trillion in debt. We have to get this right. It's now or never."

Rep. Thomas Massi wrote, "This isn't complicated. Separate the bills and vote on them individually.

"one vote on the clean CR, one vote on the debt limit, one vote on disaster relief, one vote on farm bailouts. Radical right? Individual bills for each issue."

Rep. Andy Ogles wrote, "Given barely over an hour to review, I cannot in good conscience vote for the latest CR proposal. It includes a two-year, $4 TRILLION debt limit increase; a provision that undermines the House majority and the American people."

Rep. Chip Roy wrote, "I understand a lot is flying around – but I was one of the first out publicly against the CRamnibus.

"Currently, I'm against raising the debt ceiling without major spending cuts/reform. Congress needs to feel the pain of their actions and confront reality."

Rep. Victoria Spartz wrote, Some rough numbers:

Rep. Tom Tiffany wrote, "The national debt exceeds $36 trillion, and we cannot afford to keep kicking the can down the road. I cannot support an unlimited 2-year debt limit increase without concrete spending cuts."
