Rep. Gaetz's Resolution to Remove Troops From Syria Fails to Pass in the House as Majority of Both Parties Vote Against it

Rep. Gaetz's Resolution to Remove Troops From Syria Fails to Pass in the House as Majority of Both Parties Vote Against it | 9 March 2023 | Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) resolution to remove troops from Syria within six months was shot down on Wednesday. The resolution to bring roughly 900 American troops stationed there failed with a 103-321 vote -- as the majority in parties voted against it. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Andy Biggs were among the most prominent and outspoken supporters of Gaetz's proposal. According to a report from The Hill, "the resolution was supported by 56 Democrats and 47 Republicans, while 150 Democrats and 171 Republicans voted against the resolution." In a case of strange bedfellows, the resolution not only had support from America First lawmakers, but the Congressional Progressive Caucus as well.
