House to vote on resolution condemning Trump's Syria pullback
By Jordain Carney - 10/15/19 06:35 PM EDT
The House will vote Wednesday on a resolution condemning President Trump's decision to pull back troops in northern Syria.
A spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calf.) confirmed that the joint resolution formally opposing Trump's strategy will be on the House floor on Wednesday.
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) urged Republicans to support the resolution ahead of the vote. A bipartisan vote in the House could help add pressure on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to give the measure a vote in the GOP-controlled Senate.
“The chaos and insecurity unleashed in Syria by President Trump’s disastrous decision to precipitously withdraw from northern Syria require strong, smart leadership from Congress," Pelosi and Schumer said.
