Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), who voted against committing troops in Iraq during the Bush presidency, supports a limited military strike in Syria in response to a reported chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime last month.

“I believe the president’s plan is the best response,” she said on the Senate floor Monday.

TPM is tallying where members of Congress stand on President Barack Obama’s proposed authorization of force here.
