Senate Republicans Block War Powers Resolution

The vote highlights the deep partisan divide in Washington over the ongoing military campaign in the Middle East.

While Democrats argue that the war is unauthorized and increasingly costly, the Republican majority remains in near lockstep support of the president's actions.

However, some cracks are beginning to emerge as the 60-day war powers deadline approaches, with a few GOP senators expressing concern over the lack of a clear exit strategy.

The White House has declined to provide a ballpark estimate for the total cost of the conflict, further fueling legislative tension.
