Trump Meets Senate Republicans After Canceling Housing Bill Ceremony

Trump met Senate Republicans at the Capitol, where Cassidy defended his vote to limit presidential war powers over Iran. Trump also canceled a planned housing-bill signing while pressing lawmakers to pass a proof-of-citizenship voting bill. Left-leaning outlets foreground Cassidy’s confrontation with Trump over Iran, though The Daily Beast dramatizes his challenge more than Daily Kos. Center outlets cover the same dispute in mostly reportorial terms, with varying emphasis on the Iran vote, Trump’s voting-bill demand and the housing signing.
