No
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Northwest Georgia. "The 'Republican-controlled' House just passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill that doesn't secure our border, but funds full term abortion and trans ideology on our youth," Greene wrote in a social media post Friday afternoon after the vote. Greene on Friday also filed a motion to vacate against House Speaker Mike Johnson, saying on social media that the House "needs a Speaker who's able to win for Republicans and our constituents."
— Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Sherwood.
— Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Knoxville. In a statement on his vote Friday, Burchett said he voted no because the bill included funding for "transgender surgeries in our military" and border measures for Middle East countries, but not for a border wall in the U.S. He also called for Republicans who voted for the bill to be voted out of Washington in a social media post. "No border, no budget," Burchett said in a news conference Friday. "That's how important it is."
— Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Maury County. Ogles called the bill's passing "unacceptable and beyond disappointing" in a social media post Friday. "This bill, it's not a Republican piece of legislation," Ogles said during a news conference. "It's keeping the border open. It's funding transgender kits and proms in the Northeast."
— Rep. Diana Harshbarger, R-Kingsport.
— Rep. Mark Green, R-Portland. "This is the worst border crisis in the history of our country, and this spending bill doesn't do nearly enough to address it," Green wrote on social media Friday.
— Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Northeast Georgia. Clyde called the bill a monstrosity in a social media post Friday. "GOP leadership couldn't even get a majority of Republicans to support this garbage," he said in the post. "But for those who did: You now own everything you just funded."
Not voting
— Rep. John Rose, R-Cookeville. Rose was in Tennessee during the vote because his son was having surgery, according to a statement from spokesperson Dylan Jones. "Had Congressman Rose been in attendance for the vote, he would have voted 'NO,'" Jones said in the statement.
