Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, said the bill would ensure "America's military remains state of the art at all times all around the world".
51% : On China, the bill establishes a new training program with Taiwan, requires a plan to accelerate deliveries of Harpoon anti-ship missiles to Taiwan, and approves an agreement that enables Australia to access nuclear-powered submarines, which are stealthier and more capable than conventionally powered vessels.Dozens of House Republicans balked because the bill would keep in place a Pentagon rule that allows for travel reimbursement when a service member has to go out of state to get an abortion or other reproductive care.
