Senate Republicans solidified their support for President Trump's ongoing war against Iran, voting down a Democratic war powers resolution 47-53 on Wednesday. The Associated Press reports that most GOP senators backed the administration's surprise attacks launched Saturday, rejecting calls to halt the conflict despite risks like missile strikes from Iran and the deaths of six U.S. service members in a Kuwait drone attack. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned the war could last eight weeks, while Trump has shifted goals from regime change to crippling Iran's nuclear, navy, and missile programs, without ruling out ground troops. Senators like Joni Ernst highlighted human costs but urged pressing on to end regional chaos, as the House prepared a Thursday vote affirming Iran as the top state terrorism sponsor.

Shifting to elections, ABC News coverage of Tuesday's Texas primaries shows the Republican Senate race heading to a heated runoff between incumbent John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton, neither topping 50% amid chaotic voting and extended polls overturned by the Supreme Court. Over $70 million in spending fueled personal attacks on Paxton's scandals, with establishment backing Cornyn as the safer general election bet, while Paxton appeals to Trump loyalists. Trump-endorsed candidates performed well, underscoring his influence in intraparty fights ahead of midterms.

The RNC has stayed largely behind the scenes, aligning with Trump's foreign policy stance and midterm strategy amid these developments. Tensions with Democrats intensify over war authorization and congressional oversight.
