Full List of Republican Senators Who Voted for $1.2 Trillion Funding Bill

The U.S. Senate passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill in the early hours of Saturday morning, with numerous Republicans joining their Democratic colleagues in approving the bill to avert a government shutdown.

The vote, 74-24, in the Senate was concluded at approximately 2 a.m. on Saturday, after the funding bill passed in the House of Representatives late Friday morning. Voting continued after the midnight funding deadline and will now go to President Joe Biden’s desk for a signature to avert a government shutdown.

In the wake of the vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, hailed the successful passage of the bill as a significant achievement amid the bitterly polarized political atmosphere in Washington, D.C.

“It’s no small feat to get a package like this done in divided government,” Schumer said. “These past few months have shown yet again that when bipartisanship has room to work we can get the job done.”

All Democrats in the Senate voted in favor of the funding bill, except Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who caucuses with Democrats and frequently votes in line with the party, also voted against the bill. Independents Angus King of Maine and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona voted in favor of the bill. Republicans Mike Braun of Indiana and Rick Scott of Florida did not vote.

The list of Republican who crossed the aisle to join the majority of their Democratic colleagues is as follows: John Boozman of Arkansas, Katie Britt of Alabama, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, John Thune of South Dakota, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, and Todd Young of Indiana.

Newsweek reached out to the White House via email on Saturday morning for comment.

Republicans and Democrats were at odds over the size of the budget, with conservatives pushing for spending cuts to reduce the national debt, while progressives sought increased spending on social programs and climate change initiatives.

In the wake of the bill’s passage in the House, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, filed a motion to oust GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana. The previous speaker, Representative Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, was similarly ousted from the role last year after cooperating with Democrats to pass a stopgap funding bill and avert a government shutdown.
