Senate Republicans block measure to limit Trump’s war powers in Iran

A majority of members of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday backed President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran, voting to reject a Democratic resolution that sought to halt the war unless Congress authorizes the use of force.

As voting continued, the tally stood at 51–47 against the measure to restrict war powers, with nearly all of Trump’s fellow Republicans voting against the proposal.
