Representative Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote against the resolution ending the Iran conflict.
The House rejected, 213–214, a resolution proposed by Rep. Gregory Meeks that would have directed President Trump to end U.S. military involvement in Iran without congressional authorization. The article says Democrats used the vote to put Republicans on record as the war’s costs and political effects became concerns ahead of the midterms.
Voted present
Outlets across the spectrum identify Golden as the sole Democratic defector whose vote narrowly defeated the resolution. Left-leaning publications like Common Dreams and The New Republic frame his action as "tanking" the effort to curb military authority, while the Washington Examiner and CBS News focus on Golden’s stated concern that the measure would weaken the U.S. negotiating position.
