The House Armed Services Committee has endorsed a Republican plan to add $24 billion more than President Joe Biden requested for defense, easing the path for spending on additional ships, aircraft and ground vehicles.

The panel voted 42-17 during its markup of the fiscal 2022 National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday, with 14 Democrats joining Republicans on the $23.9 billion measure. It was offered by the panel’s top Republican, Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, who called Biden’s budget request inadequate to deter Russia and China.
