Senate GOP support erodes for Trump's Iran war stance

President Trump is facing growing pushback from Senate Republicans over his handling of the military conflict with Iran, leaving Democrats believing they are on the verge of having enough votes to pass a war powers resolution directing the president to withdraw U.S. forces.

Four Republican senators have voted to discharge the war powers resolution from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Democrats believe they are very close to finding a fifth.

"We think we can have a narrow win," Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), the Democratic sponsor of the measure, told The Hill.

"I don't have one absolutely pinned down, but I think I'm close," Kaine said of finding a fifth GOP vote for the resolution.
