While this must-pass bill largely supports our national defense, Speaker Mike Johnson included a provision targeting the health care for transgender children of our servicemembers. Senator Fetterman joined Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and 23 Senate colleagues on an amendment that would have stripped this provision out of the NDAA.\n\nSenator Fetterman released the following statement:\n\n\u201cI\u2019m unapologetically supportive of our national defense and the trans community.\n\n\u201cI strongly reject the Speaker\u2019s performative show vote.\n\n\u201cMy AYE vote on the NDAA strongly affirms my commitment to our national security.\n\n\u201cMy vote does not, in any way, diminish my voice or mean I\u2019m turning my back on the trans community.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.fetterman.senate.gov/fetterman-on-national-defense-authorization-act-vote/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0640472173690796, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
