Some Republican members of the House of Representatives joined Democrats on Thursday night to pass legislation that would fund the government and end the partial government shutdown if passed by the Senate and then signed by President Donald Trump.

House Joint Resolution 1 and House Resolution 21 neither of which includes funding for Trump's desired wall along the US-Mexico border were passed largely along party lines. All 234 members of the new Democratic majority voted in favor, while many GOP lawmakers voted against the measures, which were nearly identical to the Senate's stopgap measure passed in December ahead of the shutdown.

There were a handful of Republicans, however, who broke with Trump and voted with the Democrats. Trump has said he will not sign legislation to fund the government that doesn't contain $5 billion in funding for a border wall.

Five Republicans voted for H.J. Res. 1, which makes "further continuing appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2019, and for other purposes." (It would fund the DHS until February 8, according to the CNN reporter Manu Raju.)

Seven members of the GOP voted for H.R. 21, which makes "appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes," funding the other government agencies affected by the partial shutdown.
