Murkowski vs Trump: Senator sides with Democrats on Iran after series of breaks with president

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski sided with Democrats in the Senate, supporting a move to curb President Trump’s war authorities in Iran, bringing the Senate closest yet to reasserting Congress’s authority on the matter. Murkowski argued that the administration hadn't provided clarity on next steps and supported a discharge resolution to discuss Congress’s responsibilities under the War Powers Act. She has previously opposed Trump’s policies, including regarding Venezuela and the SAVE America Act.
