“As leading Democrats express hesitation about using an upcoming fight over government funding to cut off money for President Donald Trump’s illegal Iran war, Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Rep. Ro Khanna are pushing their party to act boldly against a conflict that spurred massive backlash against the GOP at the ballot box last week. The Washington Sun reported Wednesday that Van Hollen (D-MD) and Khanna’s (D-CA) call for Democrats to withhold their support for any government funding package unless it excludes money for the Iran war is ‘hitting resistance from senior members of the party’. The outlet cited several top Democrats, including Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, and other lawmakers who have voiced skepticism about potentially sparking a government shutdown over war funding just weeks after the midterms.” (11/12/26)
