3 OUTLETS
Senate Vote on Iran War Resolution

The Senate considered a resolution to end the Iran war under President Trump; Republican senators split, with some backing it and others opposing it. Left-leaning outlets frame the vote as a possible break with Trump while stressing that most Republicans did not make that break. Center outlets instead cover a separate bipartisan request that Trump keep Putin out of the G20.
