WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Nanette Barragán (CA-44) released the following statement:
“House Democrats came to the floor this morning with a motion to stop Trump’s reckless war of choice — Republicans rejected the opportunity to end the war.
We will not stop until we get a vote and put every member of the House on record. Families have already paid the price for Trump’s war, which has claimed the lives of U.S. service members and thousands of Iranian civilians.
A two-week ceasefire where both sides don’t even seem to agree on the details is insufficient with a madman in the White House. House Republicans need to stop their blind support for Trump’s costly, dangerous war, and put the American people first.”
