Foreign Policy & National Security

Senator Warren received a good score on the foreign policy and national security, including full credit for her commitment to repeal the open-ended 2001 and 2002 use of force authorizations, which have been used to wage wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond. She also received credit for her support to rejoining the Iran nuclear deal, and for making a firm commitment to restoring American diplomacy. She lost points in the open-ended section because she did not provide enough detail for how she might advance a more progressive foreign policy.
