Victor AriasDemocratic candidate for U.S. House in Florida's 19th district, in an email to Dispute Index
Victor Arias, the Democratic candidate for U.S. House in Florida's 19th district, said in an email to Dispute Index that he would vote for a war powers resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran. He said one reason is that "there was no plan to enter this war and there is no plan to exit the war."
“I would you vote for a war powers resolution directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran, if it came before the House. One of the reasons why I would vote this way is because there was no plan to enter this war and there is no plan to exit the war.”

How this statement is classified
The label describes this statement's response within the context above.
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. Arias says he would vote for the resolution because the war had no plan to enter or to exit, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
