WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) issued the following statement after the House and Senate voted to override President Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act:

 “Our servicemembers sacrifice so much to keep us safe, and we must always have their back. Today I stood with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to override the President’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act and protect our troops. Now, our servicemembers will get the pay raise and healthcare benefits they deserve, and our armed services will receive needed resources to protect our national security.”
