The Senate voted 47-53 against a war powers resolution that would have required congressional approval before further attacks on Iran. Republican Sen. Rand Paul voted for it and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman voted against.
Why it matters
The mostly party-line vote gave the administration an early show of congressional support for a war with no clear U.S. exit strategy.
