Trump win. US House ties on Iran war vote. War costs, gas prices test Republican unity.

The US House of Representatives narrowly failed to pass legislation curbing President Donald Trump's war powers over Iran, with a 212-212 tie vote defeating the measure despite growing Republican defections as the conflict drags on. Iran continues to deter commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, giving it leverage in ongoing negotiations. Rising gas prices are a liability for Republicans, and the war's unpopularity in swing districts is beginning to show in the vote tallies.
