It was another bad day for Republicans in the House of Representatives.

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's interim funding bill, which could have prevented an imminent government shutdown, was rejected by 21 House Republicans who joined Democrats.

Although on this occasion the House approved a procedural vote to debate the bill, the final step failed, with 198 votes in favor and 232 against.

The rejection of the bill comes just as government funding is about to expire, putting all "non-essential" federal activities on hold indefinitely.

The McCarthy proposal, called the "Border Security Enhancement and Continuation of Appropriations Act, 2024," had it been approved in the House and later in the Senate, it would have given Congress a little more time to gather support for 12 individual projects.

Now, a Government closure could occur this Sunday at 12:01 AM.

These are the 21 Republicans who voted against the bill:

- Andy Biggs, R-AZ

- Paul Gosar, R-AZ

- Eli Crane, R-AZ

- Barry Moore, R-AL

- Dan Bishop, R-NC

- Nancy Mace, R-SC

- Alex Mooney, R-WV

- Lauren Boebert, R-CO

- Ken Buck, R-CO

- Tim Burchett, R-TN

- Andy Ogles, R-TN

- Mary Miller, R-IL

- Eric Burlison, R-MO

- Michael Cloud, R-TX

- Wesley Hunt, R-TX
