(Worthy News) – The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday for a version of the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, that authorizes $770 billion in defense spending — $25 billion more than requested by President Joe Biden —sending the measure to the White House for the president’s signature.
The vote was 89-10, with strong support from both Democrats and Republicans for the annual legislation setting policy for the Department of Defense. The House of Representatives passed it by 363-70 last week.
Biden is expected to sign the bill, but the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on its passage on Wednesday. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
