Over 100 Republican lawmakers voted against a short-term funding bill that passed Congress on February 29, avoiding a partial government shutdown.
A total of 13 Republican Senators and 97 members of the House voted against the deal, but it passed both chambers with bipartisan support. Two Democrats in the House, Massachusetts Rep. Jake Auchincloss and Illinois Rep, Mike Quigley, voted against the resolution as well. President Joe Biden has said he will sign the legislation.

No Shutdown
"I'm happy to inform the American people there will be no government shutdown on Friday," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, said following the vote.
Biden said the House had avoided a "damaging" shutdown that "allows more time for Congress to work toward full-year funding bills."
But the President added that it was a "short-term fix—not a long-term solution."
Republicans, including members of the House Freedom Caucus, against the deal lamented the use of short-term spending bills, or continuing resolutions (CRs).
Ahead of the vote, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said: "Remember the big fight earlier this year about no CRs and rules and no omnibuses and no minibuses? Well, everything talked about in conference this morning was a CR, another CR, a weeklong CR."
A CR was passed in the House in a 314-108 vote in January following another resolution in November.
"Something's got to stop," Texas Congressman Chip Roy said. "Something's got to change."
The deal was voted through in both chambers and means funding for key programs, including transport and agriculture, will not yet expire.
The resolution gives lawmakers time to pass half a dozen spending bills by the next deadline on March 8 and a further six by March 22.
