House Republicans narrowly defeated a resolution aimed at ending military conflict with Iran, maintaining President Trump's unilateral war-making authority despite pushback from a handful of GOP constitutionalists.
Outlets across the spectrum highlight Representative Thomas Massie as the only Republican to vote for the resolution, though they differ in their focus on his motivation. Common Dreams emphasizes Massie's role in a failed progressive effort to curb presidential authority, while Off The Press frames the vote as the GOP "sticking with Trump" against a lone dissenter. MS NOW specifically notes Massie's leadership as the lead Republican co-sponsor of the measure.
