House Speaker Mike Johnson praised chamber members for passing the annual National Defense Authorization Act, saying that its provisions will "refocus the Pentagon on military lethality, not radical woke ideology."
"Today's passage of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes important wins for our troops and ensures our military has the necessary resources and support to defend our great nation," the Louisiana Republican said in a statement Wednesday. "Our men and women in uniform should know their first obligation is protecting our nation, not woke ideology."
He added that it is "disappointing" that 124 Democrats voted against the act and "against our brave men and women in uniform over policies that have nothing to do with their intended mission."
