The Republican-led Senate on Wednesday rejected the latest Democratic attempt to halt Donald Trump’s war in Iran, turning aside a resolution that would require the U.S. to withdraw forces from the conflict until Congress authorizes further action.

The 47-52 vote was the fourth time this year that the Senate has voted to cede its war powers to the president in a conflict that Democrats say is illegal and unjustified.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against it. Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted with Democrats.

      There’s no way that happens. Plenty of Democrats right here in my little burg that would run just to give that DINO competition. He wont make it through the primary.

        First of all if it was Fetterman vs maga, that wouldn’t be a choice - it would be maga vs maga. Second of all I’m pretty sure the people of Pennsylvania are pissed at him so I doubt he’ll be up for reelection

        Both of you really do not understand how any of this works.

        Only how you wished it work.
