The Senate rejected a Democratic resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, 47-52. Thune supported the military effort while calling for a plan to wind it down. Left-leaning outlets portray Republican responses to Trump as deflecting concerns about his fitness, with Thune focused on Strait of Hormuz security. Center outlets emphasize the failed vote and looming War Powers deadline, while presenting Thune as supporting military objectives but seeking an exit plan. Right-leaning outlets stress the defeat of the withdrawal push alongside a coming authorization debate, with one article casting the Democratic effort as messaging.
