McCarthy faces major test after GOP loads conservative amendments into Pentagon bill
House Minority Leader ripped Republicans over the votes, arguing “extreme MAGA Republicans” had hijacked the legislation.
The Armed Services Committee already took aim at a variety of contentious issues in its June markup of the legislation.

The legislation still won the support of all but one committee Democrat.

The effort was largely symbolic as the panel has finished its work and most Army bases have already scrubbed Confederate names. Still, the measure garnered 177 votes from House Republicans.
The price tag includes authorizes $842 billion for the Pentagon and another $32 billion for nuclear weapons programs at the Energy Department. The legislation doesn’t actually provide any funding, however, and must be followed by appropriations legislation.
