These senators voted against the stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown

Thirteen senators voted Thursday against a short-term spending bill aimed at avoiding a partial government shutdown.

Republican Sens. Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee), Mike Braun (Indiana), Ted Budd (North Carolina), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ted Cruz (Texas), Josh Hawley (Missouri) ), Ron Johnson (Wisconsin State), Mike Lee (Utah State), Roger Marshall (Kansas State), Eric Schmidt (Missouri State), Rick Scott (Florida State), Tommy Turberville (Alabama) J.D. Vance (Ohio) voted against the bill Thursday night.

The Senate voted 77-13 to advance the funding measure, sending the bill to President Biden’s desk. The Senate’s passage of the bill came just hours after the House voted 320-99 to advance the bill.

The bill would continue funding the Departments of Agriculture, Interior, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs, Energy, Justice, Commerce, Energy and others through March 8.

Currently, member states have until March 22 to agree to and pass funding for the Legislature, Overseas Operations, and the Department of Defense, along with the Ministries of Health, Human Services, National Security, Homeland Security, Labor, and Education. There is.

Just before the bill was passed, four amendments were voted on. Cruz, one of 13 senators who voted against passage, tried to attach his proposal for HR2, the House border security bill that would force the House to repass the spending package.

The funding measure was passed a day after the House and Senate leadership announced it. This stopgap gives members more time to negotiate year-round funding.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said the funding does not include “poison pills,” proposals from Republicans targeting access to abortion. Stated.
