SEN. TIM Scott Secures Defense WINS for South Carolina in NDAA

WASHINGTON— U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) today voted to pass the final version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which is now headed to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law.
“I voted to pass this year’s national defense bill, which refocuses America’s military on strength and readiness while ensuring South Carolina continues to play a vital role in defending the homeland,”said Sen. Scott. “This bill strengthens our ability to counter threats from adversaries like China, supports our service members by making sure their children have access to safe, reliable child care centers while they serve our country, and builds on South Carolina’s leadership in our national defense. Coupled with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the FY26 NDAA will help make sure the United States remains the strongest fighting force in the world.”
Sen. Scott successfully secured the following provisions to support national defense and South Carolina’s military families in the FY26 NDAA:
The FY26 NDAA authorizes $900.6 billion in discretionary defense spending and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes an additional $150 billion in mandatory funding to strengthen our national defense all while saving taxpayers $20 billion by rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.
