Representative Golden, a Democrat, was the sole Democrat to vote against the resolution to curtail President Trump's war powers.
The US House of Representatives narrowly voted down a resolution to curb President Trump's power to wage war with Iran, with 213 in favor and 214 against. This defeat, following a similar Senate vote, underscores Republican reluctance to constrain Trump's military actions amidst an ongoing conflict with Iran.

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.
