Aaron Blake cited a University of Maryland poll showing that

2) Just 39% of Republicans -- and 16% of people overall -- say we're winning or have won the war."

"Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the Israeli strike in Beirut earlier in the day, Israeli officials said. This marks a major regional escalation. It would be the first Iranian missile attack on Israel since the ceasefire was announced on April 8":

* Iran ignored this.

Oil rich Persian Gulf nations welcomed American military bases, in the belief that having these bases would make their nations safer. Trump's #IranWar ended that delusion: having those based resulted in Iran attacking those host nations. This is one more way that Trump made Americans less safe.

The vote further stymies the White House’s political priorities in recent weeks after the GOP scuttled several Trump goals":
