Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) saved President Donald Trump again from a House defeat Thursday, as the lone Democrat to vote against legislation restricting the commander in chief’s ability to wage war with Iran.
Golden, who is retiring from Congress after this term, was the only House Democrat to vote against a war powers resolution by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ). The measure deadlocked in a 212-212 vote. Under the House rules, a tie effectively means the legislation fails.
