Republicans tout wins in the NDAA from repeal of vax mandate to increasing funds to combat China, Russia

Republicans scored some big wins in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023, from ending the COVID-19 military vaccine mandate to boosting efforts to combat Russia and China.
The National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, was cleared through the Senate on Thursday after the House passed it last week. The bill, which received broad bipartisan support, now heads to the White House for President Joe Biden’s signature. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The top Republican of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., praised the bill’s passage Thursday, saying, "Conservatives in Oklahoma and across the United States can be proud of what we secured in this year’s bill to protect our country from threats like China and Russia and give our troops what they need to complete their mission."
