In reversal, Senate votes to block war powers resolution, delivering Trump a win
Sen. Bill Cassidy voted with the majority of Republicans late Wednesday to block a resolution aimed at reining in the president's war powers.

Bill Cassidy for supporting a war powers resolution that narrowly passed the Senate on Tuesday, Cassidy helped to deliver Trump a victory by voting with the majority of Republicans late Wednesday to block a separate resolution aimed at reining in the president's war powers in Iran from advancing.

Cassidy said he later received a briefing from Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on Iran.
