Skip to Main ContentSen. Duckworth: Now Is The Time For ‘Republicans To Find Their Spines’Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) is calling on her Republican colleagues to vote yes on a war powers resolution that would limit President Donald Trump's use of force in Iran."If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it's now, when a commander-in-chief readily admits that he's choosing to put our troops' lives at risk, that he's ready to put boots on the ground without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens," Duckworth told reporters in a call Saturday afternoon.Duckworth said she hopes to stop Trump's ramping up of military strikes against Iran by getting fellow lawmakers to vote on the war powers resolution early next week.Duckworth said even members of Trump's diehard MAGA base "are not supportive of this.""I think the MAGA base are not supportive of this," Duckworth said. "I think the president's going to find that many of his Republican supporters are not going to support this action and are pretty appalled by it. And so that is one of the things that we can do, is to take the time and effort to get our Republican colleagues to step up and block. And I think that's going to happen."See All UpdatesClose
