Republican no votes:
Biggs, Arizona Buck, Colorado Crane, Arizona Massie, Kentucky
Vote that trash out thanks
I’m gonna guess those GOP no votes are because it didn’t go far enough?
Not quite.
For Biggs and Crane, unless I'm misinterpreting, the presence of "culture war issues" in the bill was itself a detractor,
For Buck, the size of the budget was the stated concern,
I can't find anything from Massie specifically, but given his history of voting against any and all aid to Ukraine, it seems reasonable to assume that the provisions for military aid to Ukraine were enough of a reason to vote against it.
