We should never be the first to use a nuclear weapon in a conflict. I'm proud to join with @RepAdamSmith, Chairman of @HASCDemocrats, to introduce a bill that formalizes what most Americans already believe: the United States should never initiate a nuclear war. #NoFirstUse

Here’s my entire bill on #NoFirstUse:

The only purpose of the US nuclear arsenal should be deterrence. Retaining the right to use nuclear weapons first won’t make Americans safer. In fact, in increases the possibility of a dangerous miscalculation & puts us – & everyone else – at greater risk of nuclear devastation.

I’ll keep fighting for a world without nuclear weapons. In the meantime, we must take real steps to reduce the likelihood of nuclear conflict. No President – Republican or Democrat – should be able to unilaterally start a nuclear war.
