House GOP Delays Vote on War Powers Resolution Amid Slipping Support for Trump’s Iran Campaign
House Republican leaders in Washington were forced to delay a vote on a war powers resolution on May 22, 2026, as domestic political support for President Trump’s military campaign in Iran continues to erode. The resolution, which seeks to compel a withdrawal of U.S. forces from the conflict, was postponed after GOP leadership realized they lacked the votes to defeat it. The delay reflects growing congressional frustration over the stalemate in the Strait of Hormuz and rising gas prices.
