GOP may be forced to vote on Trump's war every day as polling plummets: report

House Democrats are plotting an aggressive new strategy to challenge President Donald Trump's Iran war, according to Axios: introduce war powers resolutions every single day the chamber is in session until one passes or military operations end.

The tactical maneuver emerged during a Congressional Progressive Caucus lunch on Thursday, according to the report. One member proposed flooding the legislative calendar with resolutions, a strategy that resonated with attendees.

The plan isn't finalized, and House Democratic leadership's position on the tactic remains unclear. However, sources say members "were interested in it" and the discussion involved "more than just one person talking." The idea gained traction even among centrist Democrats. "I'd welcome it," said Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV), while Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) said, "I've voted for it twice. I'll vote for it as many times as we need."

The proposal surfaced after Democrats fell just one vote short Thursday morning of advancing a war powers resolution. The measure failed 213 to 214, with Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) breaking ranks to vote against it. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) joined Democrats to back the resolution, while three Republicans didn't vote.

Progressive Caucus members argue the relentless vote strategy would keep Republicans accountable on the war's consequences, including rising gas prices, which are now causing a shock, particularly in states that backed Trump.

Since war powers resolutions require up to 18 days to ripen before floor consideration, the approach would involve "constantly moving them to the line to get them to be able to come to the floor," according to one lawmaker.
