[U.S. Senate Advances Bill to Force Trump to Withdraw Troops from Iran as Republican Senator Defects] Reported by Jinse Finance, on May 20, according to the Associated Press, the U.S. Senate on Tuesday advanced a bill aimed at forcing Trump to withdraw troops from the war in Iran. Since Trump ordered an attack on Iran at the end of February, Democrats have repeatedly forced votes on war powers resolutions, demanding that Trump either obtain congressional approval to continue the war or withdraw troops. Previously, Republicans had been able to gather enough votes to block these proposals, but Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy (whose opponent Trump supported in the recently concluded primary) defected and cast the decisive vote, allowing the bill to move forward.
