Senate Blocks Iran War Powers Resolution After Trump Lobbies Republicans

Outlets report that the Senate blocked an Iran war-powers resolution after Bill Cassidy reversed his earlier support and Rand Paul voted present; Trump had pressured Republican senators over the measure. Left-leaning outlets link Republican vote changes to Trump's pressure and take a critical view of Cassidy's reversal. Center outlets pair the reversal with accounts of a confrontation between Trump and Cassidy, while some focus more on the vote's sequence and outcome. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump's role in the outcome, presenting it as a win for his lobbying while also highlighting his clash with Cassidy.
