Baldwin Urges Colleagues to Vote to End Iran War, Prioritize Americans’ Needs
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ahead of the U.S. Senate’s vote on a War Powers Resolution to end the President’s war in Iran, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) spoke on the Senate floor to make the case that the war needed to end immediately and that spending more money on a war in the Middle East is not a priority for the American people. Nearly all Senate Republicans voted against the measure, greenlighting the war in Iran to continue.
Baldwin’s floor speech comes just days after three more American servicemembers were killed by Iranian attacks in the region and the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth came before the Senate Appropriations Committee to ask for nearly $70 billion more to continue the war in Iran. Baldwin pressed Hegseth on the lack of preparedness that has led to injuries and deaths and the disastrous impacts of the war on Wisconsin families and farmers.
