House Republicans Vote to Greenlight Desmond-Approved War That is Raising Costs on Southern California Families

Yesterday, House Republicans voted in lockstep with Donald Trump and Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson to give the president unchecked power on his reckless war of choice in the Middle East. 

As a result, costs are rising for hardworking American families who are paying more at the gas pump after already facing rising costs on health caregroceries, and utilities. A recent poll from CBS News and YouGov found 64% of Americans DISAPPROVE of Trump’s $25 billion dollar war in the Middle East and 51% of Americans have expressed financial hardship at the gas pump.

REMINDER: Trump-endorsed Jim Desmond has been a vocal MAGA supporter of Trump’s war raising costs on Southern Californians – saying the higher prices families are facing are no pain, no gain,” and “President Trump is right.”

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Jim Desmond has destroyed any sense of credibility he could muster on lowering costs by being a blind rubber stamp to Trump’s war. Desmond has made clear that he will not work for Southern Californians, only for his D.C. party bosses.”
