Senate, House headed for showdown over defense bill
Fox News
Sen. Roger Wicker secured a crucial House-Senate conference for the National Defense Authorization Act amid looming deadlines, potentially shaping crucial military policies.
The conference will likely be sometime after Thanksgiving, a Wicker aide told Fox News Digital. The aide also said if the conference process hadn't started this week, "it wouldn't have happened this year" due to other priorities. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
"Then the senator heard from several of his colleagues that that was something that they were not OK with it," the aide said.
