Politico: House passes $839B defense bill, swatting down Biden’s military plans
The House-passed National Defense Authorization Act is $37 billion above the president's request.
The House approved sweeping defense policy legislation on Thursday that marks the second straight year Democrats and Republicans endorsed significant increases to President Joe Biden’s Pentagon spending plan.
The $839 billion National Defense Authorization Act, approved in a 329-101 vote, is $37 billion more than the administration sought in military spending.
On top of the budget, the bill also rebukes several of Biden’s national security plans.
Members maintained a nuclear cruise missile the administration planned to scrap, hampered F-16 sales to Turkey and limited the number of aircraft and ships the Pentagon can retire.
