Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) were unclear about what red lines their parties have in the $876.8 billion annual defense policy bill.

The Democrat-controlled Senate began on July 19 to vote on what will be a total of 51 amendments—21 each from Democrats and Republicans and nine bipartisan ones—to the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
