GOP Delays House Vote on Iran War Powers Resolution Amid Slipping Support for President Trump's Military Campaign
Republicans in the House of Representatives have delayed a scheduled vote on a war powers resolution aimed at compelling President Trump to withdraw from the war with Iran. The vote, initially planned for Thursday, has been pushed to June. This delay occurred as it became evident that Republicans lacked sufficient votes to defeat the Democratic-led legislation. The resolution seeks to rein in President Trump's military campaign, which was initiated over two months ago without congressional approval. Democratic leaders, including House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, criticized the delay as 'cowardly,' asserting that they had the necessary votes for the resolution to pass. Representative Jared Golden of Maine, who previously voted against a similar resolution, has indicated he will support this legislation in the upcoming vote. The move highlights growing frustration on Capitol Hill regarding the ongoing conflict and its impact.
