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. Asked that question, Lambrecht says he supports the war and gives keeping a nuclear bomb from Iran as his reason, which backs continuing the operation, so we labeled it Defended or excused. He did not say directly how he would vote on such a resolution.
