In recent months, Republicans have increasingly sought to scale back what they claim is a turn toward "woke" politics in the military under the leadership of President Biden, arguing the push toward such an agenda has weakened the military's ability to fight wars and contributed to the ongoing recruiting crisis.
Freedom Caucus members oppose voting on NDAA this week: 'What's the rush?'
As members of the hard-line conservative caucus left a meeting off-site of the Capitol Tuesday evening, they expressed support for continuing to work on the bill instead of bringing it up this week as soon as it is advanced out of the House Rules Committee.
Perry said he would like to see the bill made “right and righteous … instead of fast,” adding, “If it were right, right now, there wouldn't be 1,400-plus amendments.”
This sentiment was echoed by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX), who said, “I think if we have more time, we probably have a better bill.”
Other members of the Freedom Caucus offered the same take as well, with Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), who sits on the House Rules Committee, telling Punchbowl News he does not believe the NDAA will come up for a floor vote this week..."
House tees up NDAA fight over Pentagon’s woke policies, military abortion, Ukraine cluster bombs
The House Rules Committee worked into the wee hours of Thursday morning to hammer out a final round of amendments for the National Defense Authorization Act that sets up a vote on the House floor.
- In all, 70 are from GOP members, four from Democrats, and the rest are bipartisan.
- Most of the 80 amendments were drafted by the House Freedom Caucus, with some threatening to divide the Republican conference and guaranteeing a showdown with the Democrat-run Senate.
The advance of the hot-button measures suggested that Mr. McCarthy, California Republican, relented to the small band of hardliners who hold sway because of the Republicans’ narrow five-seat majority in the chamber.
Mr. McCarthy’s move to give the ultra-conservative faction what they want is expected to sour some Democrats from voting in favor of the must-pass NDAA, which was once a bipartisan affair but has grown increasingly partisan in recent years.
Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the Rules Committee, accused the House Freedom Caucus of “extorting” Mr. McCarthy to push their priorities.
The House could vote as early as Thursday on the amendments.
- One of the most contentious amendments headed for a floor vote is Texas GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson’s legislation to halt the Pentagon from reimbursing military service members that travel for an abortion.
- Efforts to stop money from going to Ukraine were included, too. An amendment by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene would slash $300 million in funding to the country. Ms. Greene, Georgia Republican, said that further funding for Ukraine would lead to more warfighting.
- The House panel also advanced an amendment that would prevent the Biden administration from sending cluster bomb munitions to Ukraine, but not the bipartisan add-on that had support from Rep. Sara Jacobs, California Democrat, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican.
- Another measure to only ban cluster bombs for Ukraine that was authored by Ms. Greene and cosponsored by Mr. Gaetz did advance to the House floor.
