Yes.
Khalifa sent this one-word reply from his campaign email address to a Dispute Index follow-up of October 4, 2026, which asked: "If a war powers resolution directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran came before the House, would you vote for it?"

Archived copy (opens in a new tab)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. Khalifa answered "Yes" when asked whether he would vote for that resolution, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
