Trump had pressured those in the Republican party to back the package, which would increase spending and clear the way for a plan that would add trillions more to the federal government’s $36 trillion debt, but 38 members of the party refused to comply.
Democrats had criticised the bill as a cover for a budget-busting tax cut that would largely benefit wealthy backers such as Elon Musk, while saddling the country with trillions of dollars in additional debt.
The vote has laid bare fault lines in Trump’s Republican Party that could surface again next year when they control the White House and both chambers of Congress.
If lawmakers fail to extend that deadline, the US government will begin a partial shutdown that would interrupt funding for everything from border enforcement to national parks and cut off paychecks for more than two million federal workers.
“We will come up with another solution,” he said.
A prior bipartisan deal was scuttled after Trump and Elon Musk came out against it on Wednesday.
Republicans dropped other elements that had been included in the original package, such as a pay raise for lawmakers and new rules for pharmacy benefit managers.
Even if the bill had passed the House, it would have faced long odds in the Senate, which is currently controlled by Democrats. The White House said Democratic President Joe Biden did not support it.
The limit has been suspended under an agreement that technically expires on 1 January, though lawmakers likely will not have to tackle the issue before the spring.
