Representative Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote against the resolution, citing concerns over weakening the U.S. negotiating position.
The U.S. House narrowly defeated a War Powers Resolution (213-214) aimed at limiting President Trump's military actions in Iran as a blockade continues and diplomatic talks remain stalled.

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.
