Republican Senator Bill Cassidy helped secure a legislative victory for President Donald Trump late Wednesday by joining the GOP majority to block a resolution designed to limit the president’s war powers concerning Iran. This move came only hours after President Trump publicly criticized Cassidy for supporting a different war powers measure that had narrowly cleared the Senate on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The reversal represents a dramatic shift for Senator Cassidy, who had been involved in a heated argument with the president earlier that same day during a lunch meeting between Trump and the Republican conference. According to Cassidy, he subsequently attended a briefing regarding the situation in Iran, which was led by Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n
