The House passed a $1.14 trillion defense policy bill Wednesday as the United States continues to engage in hostilities with Iran.
The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2027 passed on the House floor 216-212, with 205 Democrats and seven Republicans opposed to the measure. Usually a bipartisan measure, the defense bill lost Democratic support over the price tag and the Iran war. Six Democrats crossed over to support the bill: Reps. Henry Cuellar (TX), Jared Golden (ME), Vicente Gonzalez (TX), Adam Gray (CA), Don Davis (NC), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA).
