 Trump knocks GOP senators who voted for Iran war powers resolution, making his ‘job more difficult’
by Sarah Davis - 06/24/26 8:36 AM ET

President Trump lashed out at the Republican lawmakers who supported an Iran war powers resolution in the Senate on Tuesday.

Several GOP lawmakers voted with nearly all Democrats to approve the measure, including Sens. Bill Cassidy (La.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine) and Rand Paul (Ky.).

“Four Republican Losers voted with the Dumocrats, and Iran asked my people, ‘what does that all mean?’ These Senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!” the president wrote in a Truth Social post on Tuesday evening.

While the resolution has no force of law, it does send a strong message to the Trump administration to remove U.S. troops from the nearly four-month-long conflict.

The White House is engaged in ongoing negotiations with Tehran after the president signed a memorandum of understanding to restart nuclear talks.

“So, I have Iran on the ‘ropes,’ ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its President, ME, and the U.S. Senate decides to have a poorly timed and meaningless War Powers Act Vote, telling the Number One Sponser of Terror in the World that the United States doesn’t  like what I am doing to them, and I must stop, and by so doing has provided aid and comfort the Enemy,” Trump continued in his Tuesday post.

The Senate resolution follows the passage of a similar measure in the House earlier this month. Four Republicans joined all Democrats in the lower chamber to support the resolution.

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, applauded the successful Senate resolution in a Tuesday statement shared on social media.

“I thank my Democratic colleagues and the Republicans who joined us across party lines for saying enough is enough,” Meeks said. “After months of war, billions of taxpayer dollars spent, and 14 dead U.S. service members, Trump’s illegal war hasn’t achieved a single core U.S. objective with respect to Iran.”

...Sens. Bill Cassidy (La.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine) and Rand Paul (Ky.).

1 has already been primaried. Collins may lose to the Nazi, if so we just have to get good candidates to primary the other two.

Being that hostilities have ceased, all this does is weaken our negotiating position.

He’s looking for scapegoats.  Not gonna work, chief.

More like the Lincoln Project in conjunction with the Rat party are looking for scapegoats, or rather scapegoat, in their maniacal quest for a revolutionary coup.

Nope

Whether it’s higher prices or the war in Iran, voters are very well aware who is responsible and they’re punishing candidates and will continue that punishment into November

He had 60 days to kick ass and take names.  Trump whiffed, and he chicken-ed out.  The Iranians ran out the clock on Trump.

Yet around three quarters of the electorate want the war ended, don't want ground troops, and approve a deal.

I don't see where the blowback is.

From starting a war he could not win.  There is just no way Gen Z was ever going to occupy Iran, and the Iranian people knew the zionists wanted to turn their country into another Libya, so they also had little interest in hastening that outcome.  Trump got suckered into a war, and it was a devastating failure of leadership.

You need to quit projecting and read the room bro. You are way out of touch with the country's psychological zeitgeist.

Trump Secures Win as Senate Reverses Course and Blocks Iran War Powers Measure

Just one day after narrowly approving a House-passed Iran war powers measure over President Donald Trump’s objections, the Senate late Wednesday reversed course and blocked another effort to restrict the president’s military authorities as his administration pursues negotiations with Tehran.

Closed-door outburst turns into victory for Trump’s Iran negotiations

An explosive meeting in the Senate turned into a win for President Donald Trump and his administration as key Republicans flipped on another bid to handcuff the administration’s authorities in Iran.

In its final act before leaving Washington, D.C., for an over two-week break, the Senate rejected Democrats’ attempt to rein in Trump’s war powers in Iran as talks continue between Iran and the U.S. to hammer out a long-term peace deal.

It was the same war powers resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that passed over a month ago and stunned Republicans in the upper chamber.

What seemed like a predetermined outcome just hours after Trump and Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., sparred over the Iran war, and the administration's lack of forthcomingness with lawmakers, during a closed-door meeting to discuss the president's marquee voter ID and citizenship verification legislation turned into a surprise late night win.

Trump argued to the GOP that the previous war powers resolution, which passed on Tuesday thanks in part to a pair of Republicans being absent, hurt the administration's negotiating position with the Iranians.

Meetings with key holdouts at the White House helped change the minds of Cassidy and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has routinely voted with Democrats on every war powers resolution brought forward, and provided the administration with a win as they work toward a deal beyond the 60-day memorandum of understanding with Iran.

"I want to thank Vice President [JD] Vance and Special Envoy [Steve] Witkoff for the thorough briefing this afternoon on Iran," Cassidy said on X. "I appreciate the quick invitation to the White House to address many of my concerns."

"Wow! The Senate just changed its vote on Iran from 50-48 against, to 50-47 for," Trump also said on Truth Social. "Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy changed. Thank you to Leader John Thune, Lindsey Graham, Bernie Moreno, and all. This vote puts Iran on notice!"
