WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following House passage of the Iran War Powers Resolution, Rep. Gomez released the following statement: 

“This was the fourth time I voted to end Trump’s reckless war in Iran, and today, after months of delays, procedural roadblocks, and even an attempt by Republicans to cancel the vote altogether, the American people’s representatives passed this resolution and made their position undeniable: Trump must end this war.  

“Trump blew past the 60-day deadline under the War Powers Resolution, then tried to tell the American people this war was suddenly ‘over’ while U.S. troops remained deployed and military operations continued. 

“Families across the country have had enough. They are paying the price for Trump’s chaos through higher costs and growing uncertainty. American service members have paid the highest price of all, and more families have been forced to bear the unimaginable loss of a loved one because of this war. All while Trump refuses to take responsibility for the mess he created. 

“The American people’s representatives have spoken. The Senate should pass this resolution immediately and send it to the President’s desk. Trump is out of excuses and out of room to pretend this war exists outside the law. He must end it now.”
