Trump suffers rare House defeat as bipartisan vote moves to withdraw troops from Iran conflict
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump suffered a rare defeat in the House of Representatives on Wednesday after Democrats joined by a handful of Republicans voted to sharply curb his war powers in Iran.
Lawmakers voted 215-208 to withdraw troops from using military force against Iran absent congressional authorization.
All Democrats present voted for the measure to effectively halt the U.S. military campaign against Iran. Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Warren Davison, R-Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Tom Barrett, R-Mich., were the lone Republicans to buck the president and support the war powers resolution.
Massie, an ardent foe of the president who lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, and Davidson, a libertarian-aligned lawmaker have criticized the war in Iran. Fitzpatrick and Barrett are both facing potentially difficult re-election bids in swing districts.

SWING-DISTRICT REPUBLICAN BREAKS WITH TRUMP, PUSHES LIMITS ON IRAN WAR
A majority of Republicans, however, sided with the president as Democrats sought to put them on the record.
«It’s just a total BS vote. I think there’s no Democrat, no Republican that can tell you what forces they would want pulled from Iran,» House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Fox News. «They just want a stupid political vote, which is what this is.»
The successful war powers vote is largely a symbolic loss for Trump given an expected presidential veto and the lack of a veto-proof majority.
Even if Congress did cobble together a supermajority to force the president’s hand, it’s unclear whether Trump would ultimately withdraw U.S. forces.
Trump administration officials have repeatedly argued the 1973 War Powers Resolution requiring congressional oversight of military action is unconstitutional.
The Senate advanced a similar resolution curbing the president’s war powers in May. But Democrats in both chambers have not yet gotten behind a bicameral measure that could be sent to Trump’s desk.

US ALLY KUWAIT CONDEMNS ‘BRUTAL AND ONGOING IRANIAN ATTACKS’ AFTER AIRPORT WAS HIT
The GOP defections come as a growing number of Republicans have started to sour on the president’s handling of the war. For weeks, Trump has floated a potential deal with Iran to end hostilities, but both sides have continued to trade strikes amid stalled negotiations.
Roughly six in ten voters oppose military action against Iran, according to a Fox News poll published in May. However, 72% of respondents said the U.S. is winning the war.
Some Republicans argued the war powers resolution would undermine efforts to end the conflict, which they said has largely subsided since the first ceasefire was announced in early April.
«It doesn’t seem like it’s much of a war at this point,» Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Ariz., told Fox News. «I know there’s some skirmishes back and forth, but we’ve got to give President Trump the latitude to negotiate.»
«So people who are trying to get in his way, I think, are being a little foolish right now,» he added. «The war for all intents and purposes ended back in April.»

Republican leadership initially delayed the vote on the Democratic-led resolution in late May following attendance issues among GOP lawmakers.
«We had a vote because of this president’s war of choice that was going to pass. We had the votes. Without question, and they knew it,» House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., who led the resolution, told reporters following the scrapped vote.

Rusia lanzó un nuevo ataque masivo con drones y misiles sobre el este de Ucrania: al menos un muerto
Durante la noche del martes y la mañana del miércoles, un nuevo ataque de Rusia contra Ucrania dejó un muerto al este del país, en Kharkiv. Un bombardeo nocturno con drones sobre la ciudad de Balakliya, en la región ucraniana, causó la muerte de una mujer de 56 años, de acuerdo con Oleg Synegubov, jefe de la administración militar regional. Durante el mismo ataque, una mujer de 21 años sufrió una “reacción de estrés agudo”, y se reportaron incendios y daños en viviendas.
Por otra parte, en Sebastopol, ciudad bajo control ruso en Crimea, un ataque atribuido a fuerzas ucranianas dejó a la ciudad sin suministro eléctrico, según informó el gobernador Mikhail Razvozhayev. Razvozhayev exhortó a la población a reservar el uso de teléfonos para comunicaciones de emergencia, con el fin de evitar la sobrecarga de la red eléctrica. “El enemigo vuelve a atacar a traición, intentando privarnos de unas condiciones de vida normales y sembrar el pánico”, escribió el gobernador en Telegram.
Crimea fue anexada por Rusia en 2014 y constituye un punto logístico clave en el conflicto. Ucrania ataca regularmente el territorio con misiles y drones. Mientras tanto, Rusia mantiene una campaña diaria de bombardeos sobre Ucrania con drones y misiles desde el inicio de la invasión, que ya cumple cinco años. Ucrania ha incrementado sus propios ataques, dirigiéndose con frecuencia a depósitos de petróleo y refinerías en territorio ruso, que, según Kiev, financian el esfuerzo de guerra ruso.
En las últimas semanas, Moscú intensificó sus ataques contra Kharkiv, la segunda ciudad más grande de Ucrania: bombas rusas impactaron el sábado pasado un edificio de apartamentos y provocó la muerte de al menos una persona y dejó otras nueve heridas, entre ellos un niño de 6 años.
El alcalde Ihor Terekhov comunicó en Telegram que, horas después del ataque, se recuperó un cuerpo de entre los escombros. Las bombas alcanzaron un edificio de baja altura en el distrito de Kholodnohirskiy durante la madrugada.
El jefe de la administración regional, Syniehubov, precisó que al menos nueve personas resultaron heridas y cinco de ellas permanecieron hospitalizadas. En otro ataque registrado el viernes por la noche, un dron ruso impactó un vehículo civil en otra zona de Kharkiv, causando la muerte de un hombre y heridas a la conductora, según añadió Syniehubov.
Las hostilidades rusas circulan por la misma vía que las declaraciones del presidente ruso Vladimir Putin, quien insiste en continuar con la invasión ya que no están dadas, bajo su mirada, las condiciones optimas para negociar la paz en Ucrania.
Por este motivo, el líder del Kremlin descartó el martes cualquier acercamiento con Ucrania para negociar el fin de la guerra, argumentando que la reciente solicitud de diálogo directo realizada por el mandatario ucraniano Volodimir Zelensky no generó condiciones favorables para entablar negociaciones ni para un encuentro personal entre ambos líderes.
Zelensky había presentado la propuesta en una carta abierta dirigida al Kremlin y publicada el 5 de junio, en la que exigía un alto el fuego inmediato y un encuentro cara a cara con Putin. En ese mensaje, también afirmó que “los rusos están cansados tanto de él como de la guerra”.
Durante el Foro Económico de San Petersburgo, Putin calificó la carta como un “papelito” y la describió como “grosera en partes”. A su vez, sostuvo que ese tipo de comunicados no allanan el camino hacia la paz y los vinculó a un ataque con drones ucraniano contra una residencia estudiantil en Starobilsk ocurrido tres días después de la carta.
“No, ese tipo de comunicados no crean las condiciones necesarias”, afirmó Putin en respuesta a un militar que le consultó sobre la posibilidad de negociaciones. “¿A qué se reducen, al fin y al cabo? A crear, por el contrario, cierto potencial de conflicto”, agregó, y cuestionó las intenciones de Kiev al señalar que, mientras se habla de encuentros personales, “tres días después” ocurre un ataque como el de Starobilsk.

Former Rep. David Trone, D-Md., fell short in his comeback bid to return to Congress after pouring millions of his personal fortune into the race to unseat an incumbent Democrat.
Rep. April McClain Delaney, D-Md., defeated Trone on Tuesday in a bruising primary battle for a gerrymandered House seat in western Maryland, according to The Associated Press.
The intraparty contest was one of the costliest primaries of the 2026 cycle, with more than $32 million spent between both candidates, who had considerable wealth at their disposal to boost their respective campaigns.
It is unclear whether total spending eclipsed the Kentucky primary battle that resulted in the defeat of Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., which recently earned the title of the nation’s most expensive House primary.

DHS FIRES BACK AFTER DEM BILLIONAIRE DAVID TRONE CLAIMS ICE IS ‘EXECUTING PEOPLE’
Trone, the billionaire founder of the alcohol retailer Total Wine & More, put more than $25 million of his wealth into the race. Delaney, a freshman lawmaker who served in the Biden administration, spent at least $7 million of her own money to fend off Trone’s primary challenge for a second House term.
She previously served in the Biden administration as a political appointee in the Commerce Department.
Though both candidates had few policy differences, Trone sharply criticized Delaney for voting for the GOP-authored Laken Riley Act in early 2025. Delaney later said she regretted supporting the law, which requires the detention of illegal immigrants accused or convicted of certain crimes.
Delaney also denounced Trone for touting support from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an advertisement focused on his defense of abortion rights, despite not receiving a formal endorsement.
Trone, who represented the district for three terms, previously bankrolled a failed 2024 Senate bid with more than $60 million of his fortune, losing to now-Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md. He notably endorsed Delaney to succeed him in Congress.

FROM WASSERMAN SCHULTZ TO GOLDMAN, DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENTS ARE FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL
Maryland’s Democratic establishment rallied around Delaney’s campaign in a notable display of unity against Trone’s insurgent campaign. Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and former House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., endorsed Delaney’s re-election campaign.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also backed Delaney’s campaign.
Meanwhile, Trone touted the endorsement of the state’s largest teachers union.

Neither Delaney nor Trone reside in the district, which stretches from the rural, Republican-leaning northwestern corner of the state to the heavily Democratic and suburban Montgomery and Frederick counties. Both Democrats live in the affluent Potomac, Md., suburb near Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump came within six points of winning the Democratic-leaning district in 2024, but national Republicans do not view the seat as a top pickup opportunity.
Delaney’s husband, John Delaney, previously represented the seat from 2013 to 2019 before launching a failed campaign for president in 2020.
