The US Senate rejected a resolution to limit President Trump's authority to wage war against Iran, with the 47-53 vote largely following party lines despite a temporary ceasefire.
Democrat voting against the resolution
US Treasury Secretary
Republican voting in favor of the resolution
Left-leaning outlets like The New Republic frame the vote as Republicans "killing" efforts to rein in a "war of choice," while right-leaning sources like Fox News describe it as a rejection of a "Democrat attempt" to curb executive authority. Most center-leaning coverage, including Reuters, focuses on the legislative stalemate and Trump's claims that the military campaign is nearing its end.
