Some Dems Defect, Vote Against Defense Authorization Act Over Trans Issue

he Senate voted on Wednesday to pass the $895 billion Defense Authorization Bill,

despite a provision on transgender care that caused concern among some Democrats, sending it to President Biden’s desk for final approval.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was approved 85 to 14 by senators,

surpassing the 60 votes needed in the 100-member chamber.

The bill moved forward even with the inclusion of a controversial measure

that would ban certain gender-affirming care for transgender children of service members, The Hill reported.

The Senate voted Wednesday to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), an $895 billion bill to fund the U.S. military for the coming year.

The bill was approved by a wide margin of 85 to 14, easily surpassing the 60 votes needed in the 100-member chamber.

It now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk for final approval.

Despite its overwhelming approval, the bill includes a controversial provision that has sparked concern among some lawmakers, particularly Democrats.

The provision seeks to ban certain gender-affirming care for transgender children of active-duty service members.

This measure has drawn strong opposition from LGBTQ+

advocates and some Democratic senators, who argue that it could undermine the well-being of military families.

While the provision remains a point of contention, the

NDAA’s passage signals broad bipartisan support for the overall defense funding package

, which covers key priorities like troop pay raises, military readiness, and modernization efforts.

As the bill moves forward, President Biden is expected to sign it into law, though the controversial transgender care provision could become a point of future legislative debate.
