The United States Senate rejected a resolution Wednesday that would have directed the removal of U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran, as Iran’s government said the death toll from joint U.S.-Israeli attacks passed 1,200. Fifty-two Republicans were joined by Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman on a procedural vote opposing the war powers resolution. This is Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker.

Sen. Roger Wicker: “I’ll vote no on the pending resolution. President Trump decided to attack Iran. That decision was profound, deliberate and correct.”

Forty-four Democrats and two independents voted to advance the war powers resolution, joined by Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul. That fell short of the 51 votes needed to pass. Georgia Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock spoke ahead of Wednesday’s vote.

Sen. Raphael Warnock: “The declaration of war is not a power that the president of the United States has. The Constitution makes it clear the declaration of war is the authority and the responsibility of Congress.”

Meanwhile, Politico reports some Democrats aren’t ruling out voting in favor of a multibillion-dollar infusion of new funding to the Pentagon. The White House is reportedly considering asking Congress for $50 billion in new funding — on top of $990 billion in military funding already approved by Congress in recent months.
