Leader Schumer Floor Remarks Urging Senate Republicans To Support Senate Democrats’ Efforts To End Trump’s Failed War And Bring Our Troops Home

Washington, D.C. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor urging Senate Republicans to vote for Senate Democrats’ next War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s disastrous and unpopular Iran War. Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Trump is more concerned about protecting himself from the repercussions of his failed war in Iran than protecting our troops who are in the line of fire.

As Trump twiddles his thumbs without any plan for how to end his reckless misadventure, our servicemembers are facing down barrage after barrage of Iranian missiles and drones.

Donald: posting another lie on Truth Social won’t stop the missiles from flying. Thumping your chest won’t bring down the crushing gas prices you’ve sent skyrocketing. And brushing casualties under the rug doesn’t get our men and women in uniform out of harm’s way. And those whose names were eliminated, before they put them back, do not come back to life when you just simply take their name off the roll.

There’s only one way to do that, to do all of that: bring our troops home. End the war.

Democrats will soon force another vote on our War Powers Resolution to end this aimless war and bring our troops back home to their families.

Every second Trump prolongs this war, our servicemembers' lives are at risk.

Senate Republicans: stand up for troops – not the president who sent them to war without a plan, without a mission, and without an exit strategy. Senate Republicans, stand up with the American people and come join us in ending this war.
