Some on the list of GOP lawmakers took issue with the proposed spending package suspending the debt ceiling.
38 Republicans voted against the spending package that President-elect Donald Trump backed on Thursday.

Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Corey Mills of Florida, David Schweikert of Arizona, Kat Cammack of Florida, Michael Cloud of Texas, Aaron Bean of Florida, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Beth Van Duyne of Texas, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Eric Burlison of Montana, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, Keith Self of Texas, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, Russ Fulcher of Idaho, Blake Moore of Utah, Nathaniel Moran of Texas, Bob Good of Virginia, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Doug Lamborn of Colorado, Debbie Lesko of Arizona, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, Alex Mooney of West Virginia, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Chip Roy of Texas, Andy Harris of Maryland, Wesley Hunt of Texas, Eli Crane of Arizona, Bill Posey of Pennsylvania, Matt Rosendale, John Curtis of Arizona, Greg Lopez of Colorado, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Morgan Luttrell of Texas, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Rich McCormick of Georgia.
Some on the list of GOP lawmakers took issue with the proposed spending package suspending the debt ceiling. Chip Roy, who Trump laid into specifically over the issue on Truth Social, gave a speech on the House floor slamming Republicans for not being more fiscally conservative.
In reaction to Roy’s opposition and breaking Republican ranks, Trump said the lawmaker was “getting in the way ... of having yet another Great Republican Victory” for the House GOP. On Friday morning, House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated that there would be another House vote on the spending package for something along the lines of a “plan C.”
