Rep. Huffman Vote on Lebanon War Powers Resolutions
Rep. Huffman Vote on Lebanon War Powers Resolutions June 04, 2026 Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Jared Huffman (CA-02) released the following statement on the Lebanon War Powers Resolutions: “Trump has dragged Americans into too many reckless and costly conflicts in the Middle East, and I am committed to supporting the Lebanese people and making sure Trump doesn’t get us into another illegal forever war in their country. The more effective way to do that is with the new War Powers Resolution Rep. Tlaib introduced yesterday, H.Con.Res.108, which I support." “Democrats were divided on today’s vote on H.Con.Res.84 because most of us, including me, oppose Israel’s war in Lebanon and want our military to have nothing to do with it. But the way it was drafted could accidentally require the withdrawal of all U.S. troops in Lebanon – troops that have been there for years at the request of Lebanon’s government and who support and protect our embassy personnel. So, for those reasons I voted against H.Con.Res.84, and I’m looking forward to voting for Rep. Tlaib’s new resolution, H.Con.Res.108, that corrects this ambiguity.” ### Print Email Tweet Next Article Previous Article
