Senate GOP Rejects War Powers Resolution After Trump’s Fiery Meeting

Senate Republicans rallied behind President Donald Trump late Wednesday night, decisively rejecting a Democratic-led war powers resolution aimed at tying his hands in the ongoing conflict with Iran.

The vote, held shortly before midnight, came hours after a tense closed-door meeting at the Capitol where Trump directly confronted GOP senators over a similar measure that had narrowly passed the day before.

The resolution failed 47-50 with one senator voting “present,” reversing Tuesday’s 50-48 passage of a nearly identical House-approved measure.
