In a Friday evening vote, the U.S. Senate rejected a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Donald Trump from making further attacks on Iran, despite widespread disapproval of last week’s strikes.

Senators voted 47-53, largely along party lines, on a measure offered by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would have prohibited Trump from offensive measures while preserving his ability to defend U.S. forces.

Kaine’s resolution drew near-unanimous support from Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

    Fetterman is Jewish or maybe his stroke changed his personality and he likes the extra money he gets since he became a senator.

    In 2024, a number of commentators said that Fetterman’s views on Israel had shifted to the right and were more in line with those of Republicans.[162][163] By 2025, Fetterman had made a number of moves that were characterized as becoming closer to Trump while he has repeatedly criticized Democrats.[164][138][139][145][165][166] The New York Times reported that he had grown “more conservative, mostly on Israel, but also on a range of other issues.”[167]
