WASHINGTON — Today, Speaker Johnson released the following statement after the White House announced that it would veto H.R. 8580, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.
“The Biden Administration’s veto threat sends a terrible signal to our nation’s allies and adversaries alike. The President’s push toward radical and woke policies is a continuing threat to our national security. His agenda is changing the focus of our military, undermining our readiness, and rejecting the promises made to our veterans. He must reverse course so we can again prioritize America’s strength and safety.”
