WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Kevin Mullin (CA-15) issued the following statement on the successful War Powers Resolution vote on June 3, 2026:

“FINALLY. Today, House Democrats successfully pushed through our effort to stop Trump’s reckless and unpopular war with Iran – despite Republicans and Speaker Johnson who repeatedly tried to avoid this critical vote.

Trump’s war has already taken the lives of U.S. service members and civilians, cost taxpayers billions, and driven extreme gas price hikes. But most Republicans would rather bend the knee to Trump than help families here at home.

Democrats’ War Powers Resolution is an important step – but we need to keep the pressure up, reassert congressional oversight on this unhinged president, and emphasize that the American people do not support Trump’s war.”
