But during the marathon debate he repeatedly defended his party\u2019s plans for $733 billion in defense spending for fiscal 2020 as a responsible and sufficient mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy a reasonably comfortable margin, this is the largest budget we will have ever passed in Congress (for defense) and it&#8217;s a significant improvement on where we were before,\u201d he said before the committee vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith had already set aside some of his own priorities in a bid to win support from the panel\u2019s hawkish Republicans, who are likely to influence their caucus when it comes time to vote the bill out of the House. Without that support, Democrats may struggle to gather enough votes from progressives in their own caucus, who have questioned even the lower level of spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Senate Republicans have already set their authorization bill draft at $750 billion, a mark recommended by the White House and defended by HASC ranking member Mac Thornberry, R-Texas. He said that the figure is needed to keep pace with military modernization and readiness needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thornberry\u2019s amendment included a lengthy laundry list of weapons and platforms left out of the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI worry that we talk about this like it\u2019s just numbers we\u2019re pulling out of the air,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are real things.

In the committee debate, Republicans generally argued Trump is taking necessary and normal steps to secure the border given political resistance to addressing the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2019\/06\/13\/space-corps-gets-ok-from-hasc-ndaa-markup\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/space-force.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">\u2018Space Corps\u2019 gets OK in House committee\u2019s NDAA markup<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The House Armed Services Committee has approved a new military branch for space.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want everybody to understand we have been sending DoD assets to the border since the Alamo,\u201d said Rep.
