Senate Republicans Reverse Stance on Iran War Powers Vote Following Fiery Meeting with President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump and Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La., reportedly clashed at a closed-door Senate GOP lunch over Iran policy and a war powers vote. The Senate ultimately rejected Democrats' attempt to limit Trump's war powers in Iran, as talks continue between Iran and the US to reach a long-term peace deal. The rejected resolution, introduced by Senator Tim Kaine, D-Va., had previously passed over a month ago. Trump argued that the resolution would harm the administration's negotiating position with Iran. Following a meeting with key holdouts at the White House, several Republicans changed their minds, securing a win for the administration. The development comes as the Senate prepares to recess for over two weeks, with Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Senate GOP leaders pushing forward with budget reconciliation to fund the remaining parts of the government.
