Senate rejects resolution to halt Iran war
Despite political concerns, senators narrowly rejected a war powers resolution on Thursday aimed at halting President Donald Trump's military actions in Iran, which have been linked to rising gas prices and have become a contentious issue heading into the midterm elections. The Senate vote was 49-50, signaling the final opportunity for lawmakers to formally express their stance on the war before the November elections.
A growing number of Republicans are distancing themselves from Trump as the war continues, marking a rare setback for the president during his campaign for Congress.
