Senate clears key procedural hurdle to advance defense bill after Schumer and Pelosi strike deal on China competition bill
CNN
The Senate on Wednesday night cleared a key procedural hurdle to advance the annual defense policy bill.
The procedural vote on the measure passed by a wide bipartisan margin of 84-15.
This comes after congressional leaders struck a deal earlier Wednesday evening, agreeing to negotiate on the China competition bill, a key hurdle that was holding up the Senate from moving on to the $780 billion National Defense Authorization Act, which has passed for the last 60 years.
