Republicans should override President Donald Trump’s veto of the defense funding bill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday.

While blocking a push to approve the Trump-backed, $2,000 stimulus check bill, the top Republican in Congress urged colleagues to follow the House’s lead in overriding Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
