The vote was the latest test of lawmakers’ support for the unpopular #war since #Trump threatened last week to destroy Iran’s “whole civilization.” #Democrats have forced votes on 3 other #WarPowers resolutions since the war’s start, all of which have failed.
 Wednesday’s #vote failed 47-52, with Sen #RandPaul (R-Kentucky) joining Democrats to support the resolution & Sen. John #Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) voting against it. Sen Jim Justice (R-West Virginia) did not vote.

Geez. Fetterman too needs to go in 2028.
