During a press conference on Tuesday, the bipartisan group asserted the country is in the most endangered position it has ever been in.<\/p>\n<p>They referred to China, Russia, North Korea and Iran\u2019s military capabilities, saying national security must be made a top priority. The Senate Armed Services Committee\u2019s ranking member, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), relayed their main message and called on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to bring the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/4350\/text\">2022 National Defense Authorization Act<\/a> up for a vote.<\/p>\n<p>Inhofe said he believes the NDAA is the most important bill passed every year. The legislation provides funding to the Pentagon, as well as the Department of Energy.<\/p>\n<p>Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker (R) urged Schumer to take action on the bill in the near future. Meanwhile, GOP senators say Schumer hasn\u2019t devoted any time to the NDAA, insinuating the military is a low priority for him and other Democrat leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The NDAA for 2022 imposes specific focus on modernizing the country\u2019s nuclear triad. Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) added it\u2019s about presenting America\u2019s strength.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Press Conference Today!<\/p>\n<p>Republican Senators demand action on bipartisan legislation to support our troops and strengthen national defense. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be live right here at approx. 11amET.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FY22NDAA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FY22NDAA<\/a> \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/u2fkvoU2dC\">https:\/\/t.co\/u2fkvoU2dC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senate Republicans (@SenateGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenateGOP\/status\/1455530781640691727?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) voiced frustration over the act being placed on the backburner, suggesting it\u2019s blatant hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can you support our troops, or say you support our troops, and authorize the budget,\u201d asked Tuberville.<\/p>\n<p>The group is now asking for floor time and said the reason they haven\u2019t gotten it is clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is it that Chuck Schumer is not bringing this bill forward? The reason is because it is not a priority for him, and it\u2019s not a priority for the Democrat Party. They would rather be talking about climate change and social programs than fulfilling a constitutional duty,\u201d said Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.).<\/p>\n<p>The House passed its version of the bill in September and the Senate Armed Services Committee passed their version in July, but still the full Senate has yet to take it up. Meanwhile, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) says Democrats have been preoccupied with their tax and spend policies and have overlooked and ignored some of the basic responsibilities of governing.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-cotton-slams-childless-leftists-for-trying-to-control-americans\/\">Sen.
