Schumer says Senate will vote on Trump’s Iran war today
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said lawmakers are headed toward a vote on President Donald Trump’s decision to enter the war against Iran, warning that every senator will have to take a clear position.
“Today every senator–every single one–will pick a side,” Schumer said in a floor speech. “Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted with forever wars in the Middle East, or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war?”
The vote will be on a war powers resolution that would require congressional approval before any further US attacks on Iran.
The measure, and a similar bill expected in the House later this week, faces long odds in the Republican-controlled Congress and would likely be vetoed by Trump even if it passed.
