After eight tries, the Senate finally advanced a war powers resolution (WPR) rebuking Trump’s disastrous, illegal war on Iran.
It’s huge, and here’s how it broke down: Three Republican absences and four Republican ‘Yes’ votes moved the WPR forward. All but ONE Democrat voted yes, too. It was a crucial step toward ending war on Iran — but the work is far from finished. With more votes ahead, we need to go all in to maintain and keep growing our coalition in the Senate.
The most important — and fragile — part of any strategy is moments like this, where the stakes are high, and the balance feels like it just might fall in your favor. A key holdout that could tip the scales? Senator John Fetterman.
If Sen. Fetterman thinks he can keep taking out-of-touch votes and ignoring the pleas of his constituents — along with the overwhelming majority of Americans who oppose this war — without consequence, he’s sorely mistaken. Accountability starts with showing up, so we’re going to send Sen. Fetterman a message backed by tens of thousands of activists that he and his staff won’t be able to ignore.
