House Republicans largely opposed a resolution Thursday to limit U.S. hostilities in Iran, even as Democrats vow to make them pay in the November midterms.
The war powers resolution, led by Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, called for an immediate halt to U.S. hostilities in Iran. The measure failed Thursday 212-219. Two Republicans — Massie and Rep. Warren Davidson — supported the measure and four Democrats opposed it: Reps. Greg Landsman, Henry Cuellar, Jared Golden and Juan Vargas.
Rep. Don Bacon, who previously joined Democrats in supporting war powers efforts, did not vote for the measure this time.
