Assessments
Authoritative GovInfo evidence shows Booker introduced S.J. Res. 118 in the Senate on March 5, 2026, directing removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran not authorized by Congress. The promise was to introduce a Senate war powers resolution seeking withdrawal, not to secure enactment, so introduction and subsequent Senate floor action satisfy the promised outcome during the same federal Senate term.
Booker introduced S.J.Res. 118 in the Senate on March 5, 2026, a war powers resolution aimed at directing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from hostilities involving Iran.

Multiple reputable sources confirm that Senator Cory Booker introduced a Senate war powers resolution seeking to withdraw U.S. forces from unauthorized military engagement with Iran. The evidence shows he filed, advocated for, and forced votes on such resolutions alongside Democratic colleagues. While the resolutions were ultimately blocked by Republican opposition, the clear and direct introduction of the promised resolution fulfills the pledge, as the campaign promise pertains specifically to introducing the resolution—not its passage or effect. The timing is within the same term.
The evidence demonstrates that Senator Cory Booker introduced a Senate war powers resolution seeking to withdraw U.S. forces from unauthorized military engagement with Iran, as promised.

This fulfills the promise to 'introduce' the resolution, regardless of whether it passed. The efforts and procedural actions all occurred within the same Senate term as the promise.
