At least four Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee haven’t ruled out additional funding for the Department of Defense: Ranking member Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Gary Peters of Michigan, Tim Kaine of Virginia, and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.
“We have to look at what they need,” Reed said. “Some of it might be to fill in critical issues and other theaters of war they’ve taken things from.”
“Good luck. What Democrat is going to vote to fund an illegal war? I don’t think — with the exception of one Democrat — there will be any votes for it,” said Senator Chris Murphy Wednesday, likely referring to Senator John Fetterman, who was the lone Democrat to vote against a War Powers resolution Tuesday requiring Trump to seek Congress’s approval for further military action in Iran.
Representative Pete Aguilar of California said he has “a duty and a responsibility to help protect this country,” but is “incredibly skeptical” of giving emergency military funding for Trump. “It’s going to be pretty hard to move me off of a ‘no,’” he said.
Several Senate Democrats left a Tuesday classified briefing on Iran aghast at the lack of planning by the administration, openly accusing the White House of lying and worrying about whether ground troops would be deployed. To fund the war would require their concerns to be addressed, but even then, it won’t change the fact that Trump started a dangerous war on a whim.
