220 members of the Republican-controlled lower house of Congress voted against the bill designed to prevent a shutdown. 202 people supported the document and two more abstained, RIA Novosti reports.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress must reach an agreement on a new budget proposal by September 30.
Otherwise, the US federal government could suspend work in early October.
The White House has previously claimed that US President Joe Biden plans to veto the short-term budget bill proposed by Republicans as it will provide government agencies with an excessively low level of funding for various needs, including defence.
