“I want the Senate to pass a resolution to end the war with Iran and bring our troops home. President Trump said this war would last one week, but American troops are still dying five months later. The war is getting worse, and Republicans need to vote with us to end it.”
“Finally, on the Iran WPR, as Trump plays keyboard warrior on Truth Social in his war with Iran, our men and women in uniform are risking their lives on the frontlines. This aimless war has been one of the greatest foreign policy catastrophes in American history, and Trump’s mess only gets worse with every passing hour. Trump said the war would last a week, but American servicemembers are still getting killed 5 months later, and the war seems to be expanding with Iran’s latest attack in Egypt’s territory. Senate Republicans cannot sit on the sidelines as Trump’s war escalates out of control. Later today, Democrats will advance another War Powers Resolution so we can get our troops out of danger and end this war once and for all. Will Senate Republicans keep helping Trump dig himself into a deeper and deeper hole in Iran or will they finally show some backbone, grab a shovel, and help Trump get out of this hole? Republicans, do your duty to our servicemembers, to the American people, and to your own conscience. Vote for our War Powers Resolution to end this disaster. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.”
