Here are the House Republicans who have pledged to vote no on stopgap spending measure

LEGALITY OF HUNTER BIDEN GUN CHARGES CHALLENGED BY SUPREME COURT BRUEN RULING

A handful of Republican hardliners have already said they’ll oppose the bill, a hit to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who can spare no more than four votes.

Here are the House Republicans who’ve pledged to vote no so far:

• Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
• Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC)
• Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
• Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT)
• Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN)
• Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN)
• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
• Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ)
• Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
• Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
• Rep. Bob Good (R-VA)
• Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC)

Many critics are citing funding for the war in Ukraine as a reason for their opposition. However, upon the late evening release of the 165-page bill, there was no mention of additional funds for Ukraine.

Mills, who sits on the House Committee on Armed Services and Committee on Foreign Affairs, said he’s a hard no on X, saying that including the House Republican-passed border security funding will not sweeten the deal for him.

“I have not yet seen final deal, but I’m hearing that a CR will be pushed for 30-Day extension that will include H.R. 2 Secure The Border Act (which I voted for) minus the E-verify, and more Ukraine funding,” Mills said on X, adding he’s a hard no. “I’m sick of the DC backroom deals to appease 61 in the Senate and not going to play this game. Our job is to fund the US and take care of the American people. I was not elected by overseas interests like others.”

Bishop, who was one of the first members to threaten to oust McCarthy after the debt limit plan, echoed Mills’s statement, pushing to pass all 12 appropriations bills.

“I’m with Cory. No CR. Pass the damn approps bills. Roll back the crazy bureaucracy to pre-COVID levels. Now,” Bishop said on X.

Greene has long said she’d risk a government shutdown if Congress doesn’t meet a number of demands. Those included an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, which was met last week, eliminating COVID-19 mandates, and stating she won’t vote to fund the government.

“I am a NO,” Greene wrote on X, “No money for Ukraine, COVID or armed government.”

Rosendale said he was a no because the continuing resolution “is a continuation of Nancy Pelosi’s budget and Joe Biden’s policies.”

“We were assured in January that we weren’t going to use the Democrats’ gimmicks to fund government and that we would deliver the 12 appropriations bills, thereby funding government responsibly and transparently, which is why I will be voting against the CR this week,” Rosendale wrote on X.

Gaetz, who has threatened to file a motion to vacate the speaker’s position if Republican demands over appropriations legislation are not granted, cited the bill as a “betrayal” of the GOP.

“This Continuing Resolution to fund Ukraine and Jack Smith’s election interference is a betrayal of Republicans,” Gaetz wrote on X. “We must do better.”

Agreeing with Gaetz’s statement, Luna wrote, “Don’t listen to the propaganda media machine that will kick on this week,” the freshman congresswoman said on X. “They don’t want what [is] best for the little guy. They want to feed the machine.”

Spartz, who has threatened to stall legislation in the past if McCarthy did not comply with the requested spending cuts, announced on Monday she’ll vote no on the bill, blaming the Republican-controlled House for “failing the American people again.”

“Neither Republicans nor Democrats have the backbone to challenge the corrupt swamp that is bankrupting our children and grandchildren. It is a shame that our weak Speaker cannot even commit to having a commission to discuss our looming fiscal catastrophe,” Spartz said in a statement.

While Norman voted to advance the continuing resolution rule in the House Rules Committee on Monday, he clarified his vote was a mistake and he’ll vote against it on the floor and questioned the value of a temporary measure.

“To be honest with you, I was asleep at the switch,” Norman said. “I thought it was the vote with the New Mexico.”

Good said he “cannot support the proposed Continuing Resolution” unless crucial policy wins were included, noting spending was too high that conservatives agreed to lower it earlier this year.

Crane, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, also told the Washington Examiner he’ll vote no on the bill. Biggs confirmed on Monday afternoon that he is currently a “no” as well.

Other Republicans in the conference have criticized the temporary plan and expressed the measure won’t stop a government shutdown in the short days leading up to the possible event.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) cited policy differences that the measure won’t ensure, writing on X: “It’s crystal clear a Gov’t shutdown is coming. I represent 66% of the Texas-Mexico border – a hollow Continuing Resolution built to win a messaging battle does nothing to keep America safe.”

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) told the Washington Examiner on Sunday that he is a “lean no” on the bill but wanted to wait for additional information before making a final decision.

CORRECTION: In a previous version of this story, the Washington Examiner reported that Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) was against the agreement. Roy has expressed his support for the stopgap measure. The Washington Examiner regrets the error.
