(The Center Square) — Maine Congressman Jared Golden is defending his support for ongoing military actions in Iran after breaking with fellow democrats to vote against a war powers resolution.

The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday voted 212-219 to reject a proposal that would have restricted President Donald Trump from continuing the military campaign in the Middle Eastern country. Similar to a vote in the Senate, the measure failed largely along party lines with a majority of Democrats supporting the plan to reel in the operation, now in its seventh day.
