Omar Humiliated In Back-To-Back Legislative Losses In House

Still, Roy said he was “proud of the legislation.”

“This is a giant step forward. I wish my colleagues on this side of the aisle and my colleagues on this side of the aisle would recognize that and praise it,” Roy said.

Meanwhile, the House narrowly passed its version of a sweeping defense policy bill on Wednesday, another bill Omar opposed.

The measure approved a record $1.15 trillion Pentagon budget amid continued uncertainty over the future of the conflict with Iran.

The proposed funding, an increase from the $900.6 billion authorized last year, drew criticism from lawmakers who argued Congress should not continue allocating money for the conflict with Iran, particularly as the national debt continues to grow.

The House approved its fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act by a 216-212 vote, with three members not voting. A total of 209 Republicans supported the measure, while 205 Democrats opposed it.
