Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) was the sole Democrat to vote against a House resolution that would have restricted President Trump's war powers in Iran, causing the measure to fail by a single vote.
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.
