AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Congress delivered a stinging rebuke to President Trump during a rare New Year's Day session Friday, handing him his first veto override in the final days of his administration.
The GOP-controlled Senate voted 81-13 to override Trumpβs veto of a mammoth defense bill, well above the two-thirds support necessary, underscoring the depth of disagreement between the two sides of Pennsylvania Avenue.
The House voted 322-87 earlier this week to nix Trumpβs veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which greenlights spending levels and lays out policy for the Pentagon.
