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. Asked that question, Wade says he would vote to remove U.S. military personnel from the conflict, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
