How every senator voted on the Iran war powers resolution
The Washington Post • • nation
Key Points:
- The Senate narrowly failed to block President Donald Trump's authority to order further strikes on Iran, with a 49-50 vote less than six weeks before the midterm elections.
- Four Republicans—Sens. Rand Paul, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Thom Tillis—joined Democrats in supporting the resolution to limit Trump's strike powers.
- One Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman, voted against the resolution, while Sen. Angela Alsobrooks did not vote.
- The vote is part of a broader Democratic strategy to draw attention to Republican backing of the contentious conflict with Iran.
