Congress hits speedbump on defense and new budgets

Last week Congress began consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to establish Defense policy for the coming year.  The NDAA usually passes with a large bipartisan majority.  In fact two weeks ago the House Armed Service Committee approved the bill on a broad bipartisan vote of 58 to 1.  However, the usual bipartisanship  disappeared last week when the NDAA was debated on the House floor.  Speaker McCarthy made the tactical decision that in order to pass the bill and keep his Republican House caucus together he would support a batch of social policy amendments ranging from abortion to LGBTQ rights. These amendments, supported by the House Freedom Caucus, were added to the legislation on party-line votes.  However, the Speaker and other Republicans drew a lie when a small group of Republicans tried to amend the NDAA to undercut the President’s Ukraine policy.

One amendment by Rep. Gaetz (R,FL) to end Ukraine support failed 358 to 70.  Another proposal to require a report to Congress by the Biden Administration on Ukraine policy was rejected on a vote of 301 to 129.  While there are sharp partisan divides on many issues, these votes in the House demonstrated that there is still broad support for the current policy working with NATO and supporting Ukraine.
