Why this label?
The case tracks support for continued U.S. military operations against Iran, including whether a candidate would vote for a war powers resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities. Khalifa answered "Yes" when asked whether he would vote for that resolution, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
