Democrats slam Trump's 'war of choice' with Iran, cite high costs
Senate Republicans blocked a bid by Senate Democrats to limit President Donald Trump's war authority in Iran. The move is part of a series of attempts by Democrats to curb Trump's military actions in the Middle East.
Senate Republicans have blocked a bid to limit President Trump's war authority in Iran. The move was led by Senator Cory Booker, who introduced a war powers resolution. Republicans rallied behind the president to block the bill. Senator Rand Paul and most Senate Democrats supported the resolution, but Senator John Fetterman broke from Democrats to kill it. The conflict with Iran has raised concerns over oil prices and possible ground troop involvement. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed confidence in the administration's ability to handle the situation.
