The House of Representatives on Friday successfully passed one stopgap spending bill that would keep the government open through March 14, but a group of Republican lawmakers still opposed the legislation.
The House bill on Friday passed in a 366 to 34 vote, which included Democratic support. One Democrat also voted present. The bill significantly trimmed the 1547-page bill that was introduced on Tuesday. The bill was first trimmed on Thursday, but did not get the two-thirds majority to pass because of Democratic holdout and a group of 38 Republicans.
The revised edition which passed did not include an increase for the debt limit, a provision President-elect Donald Trump lobbied for.
Friday’s vote saw only 34 conservatives oppose the legislation. Here is a list of who they are:
Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs
Arizona Rep. Debbie Lesko
