Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Louisiana Republican who lost his primary Saturday because President Trump endorsed his opponent, got a little revenge on Tuesday by helping Democrats advance a resolution to end the president\u2019s conflict with Iran.<\/p>\n

The 50-47 procedural vote discharges a Democrat-led war powers resolution to terminate hostilities with Iran, absent congressional approval. This allows the measure to skip committee consideration and get an up-or-down vote on the floor.<\/p>\n

Mr. Cassidy previously opposed Democrats\u2019 similar war powers resolutions but flipped his vote on Tuesday, bringing the number of Republican senators voting to end the war up to four.<\/p>\n

The Washington Times reached out to Sen. Cassidy\u2019s office for comment.<\/p>\n

The final vote on the war powers measure, which has not yet been scheduled, may still fail. Three Republican absences affected the outcome of Tuesday\u2019s procedural vote.<\/p>\n

If GOP Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama join other Republicans in opposition on the final vote, it would fail in a 50-50 tie that Vice President J.D. Vance would not break in Democrats\u2019 direction.<\/p>\n

Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky also voted for the war powers resolution. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat to oppose it.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump told reporters earlier Tuesday that Democrats\u2019 war powers votes were purely political but still harming his ability to cut a peace deal with Iran that will achieve his objective of ensuring they never have a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re negotiating with Iran, and then you have the Democrats \u2013 I call them the Dumbocrats \u2013 putting in a bill that Trump should immediately stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you feel when you\u2019re negotiating, you\u2019re winning every point, and they say, \u2018But in Washington, they want to stop you from negotiating,\u2019\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cIt\u2019s only political. It\u2019s the Democrats. They\u2019re dumb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump said he may have to give Iran \u201canother big hit\u201d if the negotiations do not progress. He canceled a strike planned for Monday because intermediary countries involved in the negotiations convinced him to do so.<\/p>\n
