Senate passes $900 billion Pentagon funding bill, sends to Trump's desk

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Senate passed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act in a 77-20 vote Wednesday, sending the roughly $901 billion bill to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature.

“This year's NDAA ushers in the most significant acquisition reform in decades and helps the U.S. deter increasingly hostile nations,” Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said. “The American people voted for peace through strength, and this NDAA delivers.”
