"The dozen Democrats backing the defense spending spike included Armed Services Chair Jack Reed of Rhode Island, centrists such as Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Mark Kelly of Arizona and progressive Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

Kelly, a former naval aviator and astronaut who is up for reelection in 2022, said the budget buildup was needed to meet military requirements that didn't make the spending request.

"This bipartisan increase in defense spending was necessary to support a number of unfunded requirements from the military branches and combatant commanders critical to getting our servicemembers the tools, training, and resources they need," Kelly said in a statement. "It also funds the development of new technologies to maintain our competitive edge, while also addressing a broader scope of national security priorities.""
