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:
SUCCESS in Washington!
Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal for the American People. The newly agreed to American Relief Act of 2024 will keep the Government open, fund our Great Farmers and others,

This is only a first pass vote that Mike Johnson should have had 3 months ago to get a measure of Republican support. There are some good Republicans among those 38 opposing, and Johnson needs to meet with them and find out why. It is Johnson and the Majority Whip's job to get Republican support for bills put on the floor--not the Democrat support Johnson has been getting. The Democrats don't like this new bill, and who wants the support of communists.

If you are cool with 4 Trillion in new debt with absolutely NO locked in spending cuts, please don't ever utter the word 'Bidenomics' again.

I hear some good reasons for voting no.
The FedGov is going to shut down for Christmas anyway. Go ahead and wait until next year.

Johnson needs to get this straightened out. He should have been on this the day after the election. He got worked on this one.
Cutesy time is over.

After reading the comments of the No voters, I agree with them. This bill was carp and no better than the old one. Stop trying to slip the same old garbage through. Those days are over. And no more raising the debt ceiling. If anything, lower it.

I have always been of the opinion that the Democrats know how to circle the wagons, the Republicans know how to circle the firing squads! I am so sick of this dysfunctional, corrupt and stupid Congress!

Mike Johnson seems on his way out. No balls. Bring back Matt Gaetz. Trump is furious with Chip Roy. All should be on one team and let Trump, Elon and Vivek starve the Federales.

I prefer Representatives that can think for themselves and vote accordingly, unlike the Democrats who mindlessly always vote how they are told, with the exception of exactly 2 of them in this last vote.

I'm confused. I thought Trump and his team were against the CR. Now they're in favor of it? Isn't there something in it that says Congress can't investigate any wrong doing by theJ6 committee, the FBI, etc? Plus the massive amount of pork added by the democrats?

Short sighted..."I'm for the right things!" thinking sometimes is very destructive to longer view which may get a better result for the long term.
Too many checkers players in a chess game.

Good that they voted against this pos bill. Of course, they will be demonized for "shutting down the government" but since nobody is in their office, what's there to miss?

Why not all the republicans? You cannot keep spending Trillions more than you take in. And you take in way too much.

The (m)ass of dems voted no…they want even more $$$. 38 pubbies voted no…they wanted less $$$. A real president would call a special session to produce a budget (per the real CR, the Constitutional Requirement) within means, and congress will in session 24/7!until one is produced….and announce that any spends that are out of bounds will be impounded.

It's a Continuing Resolution. Just vote for the levels at present (even though disgustingly too high - thank you certain Republicans for caving to the Dems) and then when Trump is sworn in - then battle it out for a new budget. And that means each Department gets its own budget as in the "old" days and everyone can see what money is funding what at each department.

It’s all theater. I really can’t see it going any other way, because Congress is in disarray. The dems will all vote in unison, like robots. The republicans are not awake yet, except a small core. The sheep need to be separated from the goats.

My Rep voted against it and I am assuming there is a good reason he did so.

Those voting against the bill make good points. Too bad they didn’t launch this fight 3 months ago. Now they’re asking for votes on something not even read. The timing is terrible. We have a President who has essentially retired while still in office, a new one poised to take over, a clown for a Speaker, and a cabal of Republicans who are never on the same page. Shut it down until January 20th. Let them all go home and explain it to their constituents.

I suspect Andy Harris of Maryland voted against it because the spending cuts weren't large enough. Harris is a conservative and wouldn't vote against a Trump endorsed bill unless it didn't go far enough to end the reckless spending. Harris represents the conservative region of Maryland (yes, there is one) and is likely to vote for every Trump bill once it reaches Congress.

I can't completely blame some of the no votes. Not enough information, and while I trust Trump, I'd still want to read the bill and ruminate on it before giving it support.

The reasons given for the opposition to the bill in the article look good to me. Maybe the Trump team should ask Gingrich to come in to work on the budget. He somehow got a balanced budget with Clinton in office. Maybe magic?

The Debt Ceiling, established during WWI (1917), is intended to limit the service on our government's existing obligations and debt, which requires discipline from Congress and the Executive Branch to be effective. The fact that the debt ceiling has been raised by legislation at least 100 times since 1940, highlights the lack of discipline of our elected federal officials. The bills put forth by Johnson so far, ostensibly to address debt service, including the Trump-favored legislation, contain provisions for new spending, without any offsets to keep the national debt from growing ever larger. In effect, the US is borrowing "new money" just to pay the interest on old, prior spending, which is a fiscal death spiral, characteristic of failed third-world countries, like Venezuela. The more of our GDP that goes to debt service, the less discretionary funds are available to cover essential government functions going forward. In fact, suspending the debt ceiling for several years, as the incoming administration prefers, effectively guarantees a substantial rise of our national debt, which is upwards of $35 Trillion and growing. The CR to fund various government agencies and activities, should be a separate issue, and one that shouldn't be used over the next four years, in lieu of the budget process outlined in our Constitution, and should not be attached to legislation intended to suspend or raise the debt ceiling. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 contains two provisions: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time." The way DOGE was sold, the implication is that new priorities and programs can be funded through offset cuts in spending for existing, wasteful programs, not adding to our national debt. What comes next, is anybody's guess but it seems clear that there is little stomach for fiscal conservatism - much less slouching towards a balanced budget - going in to 2025.
