Representative Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote against the resolution, citing concerns about undermining national security negotiations.
A House resolution to limit President Trump's war powers against Iran failed in a narrow 213-214 vote. Despite some Republican unease over the conflict's duration and civilian threats, only one GOP member supported the measure.

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.
