House Republicans celebrated passing the National Defense Authorization Act with their preferred policy wins, but it's unclear how many will actually become law.
The House GOP opted to vote in favor of a number of amendments to address social issues, including ending the Pentagon's diversity and inclusion efforts and its policies regarding abortion and transgender service members that shaped this year's NDAA. The fiscal 2024 NDAA, which sets policy for the Pentagon and authorizes $886 billion in spending, was approved 219-210 on Friday.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , Minority Whip Katherine Clark , and Rep. Pete Aguilar , the Democratic leadership, criticized the"extreme MAGA Republicans" for"hijack[ing] the historically bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act to continue attacking reproductive freedom and jamming their right-wing ideology down the throats of the American people."
