Watch live: Government shutdown live coverage

From USA TODAY.

Lawmakers have rejected a deal backed by President-elect Donald Trump to fund large parts of the U.S. government, making a partial shutdown appear all but inevitable heading into the end-of-year holidays and with a transition of power in the White House just a month away.

The House voted 235-174 to reject the spending bill where two-thirds of the chamber was needed for passage. Thirty-eight Republicans joined 197 Democrats in opposing the bill.

House Republicans had hurried to craft a new continuing resolution, or temporary means to keep things up and running, on Thursday, after their original bipartisan agreement was torpedoed by Trump and allies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The House GOP is expected to go back to the drawing board Thursday night to figure out their next steps.

Current government funding expires at the end of the day Friday.
