FY 2021 NDAA Passes Senate with Rounds Support, Includes a Number of South Dakota Priorities
Sen. Mike Rounds
July 23, 2020
Tweet - "JUST PASSED: Good to see the Senate work together to pass a bipartisan #NDAA to ensure our troops are prepared to meet threats posed by major world powers like Russia and China or rogue nations like North Korea and Iran."
Sen. John Thune
July 23, 2020
Thune Statement on Senate Passage of Pro-Troop Defense Bill
Sen. John Thune
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "The #NDAA is one of the most important bills we pass every year. Historically, we've been able to pass it with bipartisan support -- both parties united behind the goal of granting our military the resources it needs to defend our nation. I hope that will hold true this year."
Sen. John Thune
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "Some take it for granted that we have the strongest military in the world, but as this 2018 report shows, years of underfunding/budgetary uncertainty left our military under-equipped to meet modern threats. This #NDAA will continue restoring readiness."
Sen. John Thune
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "#China & #Russia have been flexing their power and investing in their military -- not only to challenge the U.S. & allies but also intimidate neighbors & expand their spheres of influence. This #NDAA will help ensure we're prepared to counter threats posed by other great powers."
Sen. John Thune
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "The Senate is set to vote on the NDAA later this week. It's thanks to @JimInhofe 's leadership in crafting this excellent #NDAA that it is laser-focused on restoring military readiness & ensuring we're prepared to meet threats posed by major powers like #Russia & #China."
Sen. John Thune
July 3, 2020
Tweet - "Welcome to South Dakota, Mr. President. I can't think of a better backdrop for your arrival than #EllsworthAirForceBase, home to some of the most dedicated men and women our military has ever known."
Sen. John Thune

Johnson Amendment to Refine Weapon Systems Investments Included in House NDAA
Rep. Dusty Johnson
June 30, 2020
Tweet - "The page gets turned at a shocking speed on Capitol Hill, but let me remind you why we're considering #NDAA this week and not Senator Scott's policing reform bill: Democrats filibustered the debate from beginning in the Senate."
Sen. John Thune
June 30, 2020
Tweet - "The #NDAA is one of the most important pieces of legislation we pass every year. Historically, we've always been able to get it done in a bipartisan fashion. I hope that will hold true this year."
Sen. John Thune
June 10, 2020

Tweet - "The Senate will sustain @POTUS 's veto of a resolution that would've limited authorities as commander in chief. It's important presidents are able to intervene, if necessary, when there are imminent threats. Of course, that applies to Iran -- the world's largest sponsor of terror."
Sen. John Thune
