Republicans in Congress are defecting from Trump over Iran. Will more follow? | Rajan Menon and Daniel Depetris
Republicans in Congress are defecting from Donald Trump over Iran, as the House passed a measure under the 1973 War Powers Resolution to remove US forces from hostilities against Iran. The Senate also advanced a similar bill, with both votes receiving support from some Republican lawmakers, prompting Trump's anger over what he called a 'meaningless vote.'
