Why we used 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. Rourk's campaign says she would be a vote to withdraw from the war, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
