Actually, the $770 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) ended up being more than Biden asked for, as it needed $24 billion more. Although it did face some opposition from certain Republican and Democratic lawmakers, it was bipartisan support, as it passed both the House and Senate.

She said in a video: “People oftentimes forget that, like, how old Trump is… He comes from a generation — I’ve seen a lot of people who are older, have…

Politico reported: “A lot of the natural coordination that happens in a typically functioning White House has been lost, and there has been no proactive effort to make up…
