A coalition of 38 Republican lawmakers on Thursday night broke rank in order to vote against a far slimmer spending bill that was backed by President-elect Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The House rejected the new proposal in a 174-235 vote, that saw one lawmaker vote present. The bill needed a two-thirds majority in order to pass, and all but two Democrats voted against the legislation. 

The House of Representatives' latest budget deal was to prevent a government shutdown on Friday. The original plan, a continuing resolution/omnibus bill, fell through on Wednesday. The new deal had included a provision to extend the debt limit through January 2027, which was not in the original bipartisan version.

Here is a list of the 38 Republican lawmakers who voted against the new bill:

Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs

Arizona Rep. David Schweikert

Arizona Rep. Debbie Lesko
