Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) bid to add the Antisemitism Awareness Act (AAA) to the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act has been blocked by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), making it increasingly unlikely that the bill will pass Congress this year.
Schumer requested that the legislation be included in the compromise version of the NDAA to be voted on by both the House and Senate.
But Johnson refused the request, arguing that it may be outside the purview of the NDAA and that Schumer should call a stand-alone Senate floor vote. Despite weeks of negotiations, neither congressional leader budged on his position, and a final compromise bill was released on Saturday evening without the AAA included.

Does Chuck ever walk around alone? Just curious
