Democrats Push Iran War-Powers Vote to April Amid Pressure and Protest
Democrats reportedly plan to postpone a vote on Rep. Gregory Meeks’s war-powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s authority to wage war with Iran until mid-April, citing a two-week recess and strategic timing. Leadership says the measure will pass when brought to the floor, while progressives accuse leadership of stalling. Four defectors who opposed it previously are expected to flip, though timing remains contested. The delay has sparked criticism from the grassroots, and public polling shows broad concern about the war and its costs, with opponents warning the wait could allow further escalation by Trump.
