The National0:07Defense Authorization Act cleared the0:08house on a largely party line vote0:11carrying several controversial writers0:12that Democrats are already calling0:14poison pills. The 1.15 trillion dollar0:17NDAA includes the Save America Act a0:20voter ID requirement for federal0:22elections fused directly into the0:23defense bill.0:25Speaker Mike Johnson framed the package0:27as delivering on core promises0:29strengthening the military securing0:31elections and holding Congress0:32accountable on stock trading.0:40The rule vote to advance the package0:41passed by the narrowest of margins 2140:44to 211 with almost all Democrats united0:47against it. Only six Democrats0:49ultimately voted for the final NDAA0:52while seven Republicans broke ranks to0:54vote no. California Democrat Gil0:56Cisneros who had supported the defense0:58bill in committee voted against final1:00passage. He called the measure a blank1:02check for what he described as the1:04latest forever war in Iran and condemned1:06culture war and anti-LGBTQ provisions1:09written into the bill. Cisneros1:10specifically cited the prohibition on1:12TRICARE coverage for gender-related1:14medical procedures which House1:16Republicans slipped into the bill as a1:17step too far.
