Susan Collins (R-ME) was the lone Republican to vote for the defense bill amid the GOP revolt against Senate Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans protested against allowing more amendments to the NDAA because most of their proposals have been left out.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) attacked Republicans for \u201chalting the process\u201d after some Republicans failed to get votes on their proposed amendments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">Schumer said after the vote,&nbsp;\u201cFor a while now Republicans have claimed they wanted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act immediately. But a few moments ago, Republicans just blocked legislation to support the troops, support our families, keep Americans safe. Republican dysfunction has again derailed bipartisan progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) promised to oppose advancing the legislation without consideration of a GOP amendment to put sanctions on Russia\u2019s Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">\u201cConsidering sanctions on the pipeline that fuels [Russian President Vladimir] Putin\u2019s encroachment over Europe, including provisions from Senator [Jim] Risch, that closely mirror language that the House added unanimously is certainly worth the Senate\u2019s time,\u201d the Kentucky Republican said.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed (D-RI) blamed Republicans for holding up the legislation for issues not central to the defense authorization bill.<\/p>\n<p>Reed said Republicans \u201cdemonstrated irresponsibility\u201d in holding the bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">\u201cIt will be done. \u2026 And we\u2019ll have to use procedures that are appropriate to get it done. But we just missed an opportunity to send a clear message that we support this legislation, we support our troops, we\u2019re going to go to final passage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><i>Sean Moran is a congressional reporter for Breitbart News.
