House splits over Iran war powers amid GOP defections
TL;DR Summary
The House voted 212-212 to block a measure limiting President Trump’s Iran war powers, with three Republicans breaking ranks to back Democrats and a lone Democrat opposing the measure. The defections—Barrett, Fitzpatrick, and Massie—highlight growing GOP divisions in key districts as the Iran conflict drags on, gas prices rise, and the 60-day War Powers deadline looms; the Senate has repeatedly rejected similar efforts. The vote underscores Trump’s continued control of the party in a high-stakes policy battle that could influence midterm outcomes amid escalating costs of the war.
