Senate Rejects Democratic Resolution to Halt Iran War

Outlets on more than one side report that the Senate rejected a Democratic resolution to limit U.S. military action in Iran. Schumer said Democrats would keep forcing votes on the issue. Left-leaning outlets focus instead on protesters demanding Schumer oppose arms sales to Israel. Center outlets report the vote and Schumer’s plan for repeated votes, with some also detailing lawmakers’ competing views on war powers. Right-leaning outlets present the vote as a failed Democratic push while emphasizing Republican debate over authorization and questioning Schumer’s strategy.
