Four Republican senators broke ranks with their party to help pass a war powers resolution on Iran, and President Trump showed up to Capitol Hill the next day to let them know exactly how he felt about it.
The Senate voted 50-48 on June 24 to pass a resolution directing the removal of US military forces from hostilities with Iran.
Trump takes his case to the caucus
On June 25, Trump traveled to the Capitol for a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans.
The four GOP senators who crossed party lines were Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. Each voted with Democrats to pass the resolution, a move Trump characterized as potentially disruptive to his administration’s ongoing negotiations with Iran.
