Four Republican senators joined Democrats today in demanding the president either end the conflict with Iran or seek congressional approval to continue it.
They are.
They're senators like Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and those who have consistently been opposed to various elements of the Trump administration's approach to this conflict.
But it's significant, I think, that the 60-day negotiating window that the Trump administration has set up in order to
in the hope of ending this conflict, expires in August, which is only weeks before the crucial midterm elections.
And in those elections, of course, Republicans are expected to find their majorities in both houses of Congress challenged.
So that's one reason, I think, why we saw these four Republicans so prepared to take on Donald Trump in ways that members of his own party have thus far been largely reluctant to do.
Well, you're right.
The vote is largely symbolic.
It doesn't carry significance.
the force of law, but it does represent that setback for the president from members of his own party, the sort that he is unused to.
The White House has dismissed this vote as non-binding in its words, but it may, if nothing else, James, put pressure on President Trump to avoid a return to hostilities with Iran, which of course is something he suggested might happen if the current negotiations falter.
This is a global production.
Kemi Badenoch started off, I thought, with brutal efficiency in the attacks that she launched.
And then I think we were all watching it and started to feel a tiny bit uncomfortable.
Is this going too far?
Kemi Badenoch looks like she wears hobnail boots and is tough as nails and all the rest of it, and is the hard woman of the Conservative Party who's taking the fight to Labour.
And so for her supporters, her backbenchers, that looks good.
And if you're Bridget Philipson and you've been called a spiteful class warrior, maybe you wear that badge and think, well...
There might be good that comes to me.
