Rep. Stanton Urges Bipartisan Path on Defense Bill

Representative Greg Stanton, an Arizona Democrat and member of the House Foreign Affairs, Transportation and China Select committees, says Speaker Mike Johnson should work with Democrats on a bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act rather than rely on Republican holdouts. Rep. Stanton criticizes provisions dealing with abortion and transgender military service, saying they were added to be “purposely divisive.” He also discusses the risk of a September government shutdown, birthright citizenship, China competition and President Donald Trump’s financial disclosures. He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.” (Source: Bloomberg)
