In reversal, Senate votes to block war powers resolution, delivering Trump a win
Earlier, GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy clashed with Trump over an earlier measure.
Hours after President Donald Trump blasted Sen. Bill Cassidy for supporting a war powers resolution that narrowly passed the Senate on Tuesday, Cassidy helped to deliver Trump a victory by voting with the majority of Republicans late Wednesday to block a separate resolution aimed at reining in the president's war powers in Iran from advancing.
It was a remarkable departure for Cassidy who, just hours ago, was in a shouting match with the president during a lunch between Trump and the GOP conference.
Cassidy said he later received a briefing from Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on Iran.
