House Republicans celebrated passing the National Defense Authorization Act with their preferred policy wins, but it's unclear how many will actually become law.

The House GOP opted to vote in favor of a number of amendments to address social issues, including ending the Pentagon's diversity and inclusion efforts and its policies regarding abortion and transgender service members that shaped this year's NDAA. The fiscal 2024 NDAA, which sets policy for the Pentagon and authorizes $886 billion in spending, was approved 219-210 on Friday.

SOME HOUSE GOP LAWMAKERS PUSH BIDEN IMPEACHMENT, BUT LEADERSHIP IS CAUTIOUS

The conservative amendments pushed all but four Democrats to vote against the bill, which is a must-pass every year and is usually bipartisan.

The Pentagon decided after the reversal of Roe v. Wade it would reimburse service members or their dependents for the travel expenses associated with traveling out of state to get an abortion when the procedure was illegal or heavily restricted where they lived. House Republicans voted to reverse that policy, and in a very tight vote, the House also decided to cut the Pentagon's DEI programs and personnel.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA), and Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA), the Democratic leadership, criticized the "extreme MAGA Republicans" for "hijack[ing] the historically bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act to continue attacking reproductive freedom and jamming their right-wing ideology down the throats of the American people."

Democrats argued the conservatives' restructuring of the NDAA that passed out of committee with near unanimous support hurts military readiness and targets women service members.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on Thursday that the upper chamber will begin voting on their version of the bill next Tuesday.

The Democratic-controlled Senate will now take up its own version of the NDAA, which will almost certainly not include those same provisions, despite the slim majority. This will force both chambers to compromise as they merge the bills into one to send to President Joe Biden's desk.

The only House members to break from their caucuses were Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME), Don Davis (D-NC), Marie G. Perez (D-WA), and Gabe Vasquez (D-NM), who voted in favor of the NDAA, while Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Ken Buck (R-CO), and Eli Crane (R-AZ) voted against it.
