Representative Golden voted against the resolution, arguing it would weaken the U.S. position in negotiations with Iran.
The House narrowly defeated a Democratic resolution aimed at ending the war in Iran by a 214-213-1 vote, as most Democratic holdouts shifted to support the measure while only one Republican voted in favor.

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.
