The President threatened to veto the bill last week explaining it does not abolish Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a liability shield for Internet platforms that host third-party content, including social media companies.
Trump says corporations like Twitter and Facebook should lose protection because they are politically biased platforms and are far from being neutral.
Trump further opposes provisions in the bill that would rename 10 military bases that praise Confederate leaders, such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

The vote on the National Defense Authorization Act will be a test of Trump’s lame-duck control of Republicans in Congress as some conservatives force them to break ranks and vote for the bill.

Among these thumbing their nose at Trump is Texas Rep. Mac Thornberry, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee.
“I’m hoping for a strong vote tomorrow. I think the stronger the vote, the less chance of having to deal with a veto later,” Thornberry announced Monday

“I’m hopeful that a strong vote can persuade the White House that there’s a better approach to that issue so you’re not punishing the troops for something that is totally unrelated,” Thornberry added.

Two-thirds support in both chambers of Congress is needed to reverse a veto, meaning a substantial number of Republicans would have to approve the bill.
If the bill passes the House by a generous margin, it still needs to pass the Republican-held Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will determine if it gets a vote.

Comparable versions of the legislation previously passed the House and Senate this year, but the disputes were settled in the current version.
Some Senate Republicans, including Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Josh Hawley of Missouri, back repealing Section 230 within the defense bill. Both senators cite Twitter and Facebook censoring The Post’s reporting in October on President-elect Joe Biden’s apparent connections to his Hunter’s overseas dealings.

A lot of Democrats, including Biden, also support changing or repealing Section 230.
Though Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, disputes undoing the fine deal that’s currently in place.
“It’s unfortunate that Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle disagree with the need for a full repeal — but, because of that, it is impossible to add a repeal of Section 230 to the defense authorization bill,” Inhofe said last week.
