Jeffries Refuses to Say If He’ll Support Holding Up Funding Bill to Stop Iran War | Common Dreams
Common Dreams reports that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declined to say whether he would support holding up the December 11 funding bill to force President Trump to end the war in Iran, leaving the appropriations process to Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray. Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Just Foreign Policy urged Democrats to use the deadline to cut off war funding, citing a Reuters/Ipsos poll finding 71% of adults support legislation to end the war, while Jeffries and Chuck Schumer pledged to stop the war without specifying how.
