House Republicans’ divisions on how the United States should engage in foreign wars will be on full display on Wednesday as the House prepares to vote on a handful of amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act.
The defense bill, which has a topline of $892.6 billion in spending, is facing nearly 300 amendments that the Rules Committee approved to head to the floor for a vote. Many of the amendments are likely to spark infighting among Republicans as the party battles over whether to become more isolationist in the face of skepticism about assisting foreign countries.
