Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has expressed dissatisfaction with the bipartisan stopgap funding measure passed by Congress yesterday, saying he felt Republicans “did not get anything” out of it.

Donalds told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream that many of the issues at the top of the Republican agenda were not addressed in the bill. The Florida Republican also blasted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for calling the Republicans who voted against the measure “MAGA Republicans.”

“Look, I’m gonna be honest. We did not get anything out of this continued resolution,” Donalds said. “The border is still unsecured in our country. Why is that? That’s because Joe Biden and the Democrats got their way. The Democrat members are very happy with what they got. I think this is a terrible deal for the American people.”

“Cutting this government’s spending down must happen,” Donalds continued. “Inflation is still running rampant. That’s not MAGA Republican, that’s common sense. Having a secure border – that’s not MAGA Republican, that’s common sense.” 

The stopgap measure passed the House with a vote of 335-91 – 90 Republicans, and just one Democrat voted against it. Donalds notably did not vote but blamed Republican leaders for that, saying they knew beforehand that he was a “no” and therefore didn’t hold the vote open for him as he made his way to the chamber.

The stop-gap bill includes $16 billion for U.S. disaster relief aid but no additional funding to Ukraine – something Democrats and some Republicans had pushed for. However, it will only continue to fund the government for 45 days, at which point Congress will have to pass a permanent solution to fund the government. 

Many Democrats, including Jeffries and Virginia Democratic Rep. Don Beyers, claimed the temporary funding measure was a win for their party. Beyers accused McCarthy of “folding,” while Jeffries said, “Extreme MAGA Republicans have lost.” 

While the majority of Republicans voted in favor of the funding bill, some that voted against it did not hold back in their criticism, with Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz saying he would file a motion to vacate against McCarthy at some point this week. Donalds did not commit to voting to oust the speaker, but he did say that he felt McCarthy should be concerned.

“I think he is in trouble,” Donalds told Bream. “There has to be some level of strong leadership in our chamber, I’m just gonna be totally blunt. There are a lot of trust issues in our chamber right now, where people feel on both sides of our conference that everybody’s not gonna hold hands and continue to do this work together.”

For his part, McCarthy said he’s not worried about a vote of no confidence and said it’s time for Republicans to “start governing.” 

Former President Donald Trump wants to know if Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) will be prosecuted and imprisoned for pulling a fire alarm in a House office building ahead of a government spending vote.

In a post to his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump referenced the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, that disrupted lawmakers as they worked to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

“Will Congressman Jamal Bowman be prosecuted and imprisoned for very dangerously pulling and setting off the main fire alarm system in order to stop a Congressional vote that was going on in D.C.” Trump said in his post.

“His egregious act is covered on tape, a horrible display of nerve and criminality,” Trump added, alluding to an image posted to social media. “It was a very dangerous ‘Obstruction of an Official Proceeding,’ the same as used against our J-6 prisoners. Actually, his act may have been worse. HE MUST SUFFER THEIR SAME FATE. WHEN WILL HIS TRIAL BEGIN???”

More than 1,100 people have been charged in connection with January 6, according to the Department of Justice, with many facing counts tied to impeding an official proceeding. Some defendants have already been found guilty or have been convicted. Republicans have raised concerns about the conditions of the D.C. jail used to hold some January 6 defendants.

Trump, who is running a 2024 campaign for a second term in the White House, is himself working to fend off obstruction-related charges in a 2020 election case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Others, beyond Trump, also called for Bowman to face repercussions while invoking January 6.

“How is it that Rep. Jamal Bowman (D-NY) can pull a fire alarm during a vote, which is clearly ‘interfering with a legislative proceeding,’ and there be no ramifications?” Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) asked in a post to X. “Yet, protestors from across the country who came to Washington on January 6th are serving hard time in prison for doing less!#EqualJustice?”

Bowman, who is now facing an investigation over the fire alarm incident, released a statement insisting that he made a mistake in the Cannon House Office Building while making his way to a spending bill vote in the nearby U.S. Capitol Building.

“Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open. I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door. I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused,” Bowman said.

The congressman also denied that pulling the fire alarm was a delay tactic in the showdown over spending, ultimately resulting in Washington averting a government shutdown with a 45-day continuing resolution.

“But I want to be very clear, this was not me, in any way, trying to delay any vote,” Bowman said. “It was the exact opposite – I was trying urgently to get to a vote, which I ultimately did and joined my colleagues in a bipartisan effort to keep our government open.”
