S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
The Republican -led Congress split today on a pair of votes focused on ending
0:04
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
the war with Iran.
0:05
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
In the House,
0:05
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Democrats were joined by four Republicans in passing a
0:10
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
resolution to remove U .S.
0:11
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
forces from the hostilities.
0:12
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
But in the Senate,
0:14
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
they came up short in a push to advance a similar resolution.
0:17
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Now,
0:18
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
today's votes were a sign of ongoing frustration with the war on
0:22
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Capitol Hill,
0:23
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
but also of a divide about how to move forward.
0:26
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Joining us now is NPR congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales.
0:29
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Hi, Claudia.
0:30
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Hey, Elsa.
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Hey, OK,
0:32
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
so we see these two votes on Iran go in totally different directions today.
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
What do you think we should make of that?
0:37
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Well,
0:38
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
when we look at the vote in the House,
0:40
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
that represents a rebuke of President Trump and his war strategy.
0:43
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
And we should point out this is the second time the House has approved a war powers
0:48
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
resolution.
0:48
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
So clearly the concerns surrounding this conflict are not
0:53
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
going away.
0:53
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
It's noteworthy that several Republicans voted with Democrats
0:58
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
today.
0:58
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
But one thing to keep in mind.
1:00
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
with this resolution is it's not legally binding.
1:04
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
So while they send a message,
1:07
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
they may be more symbolic than anything else.
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
OK, but the Senate seemed to be sending a different message today,
1:13
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
yeah? Yes,
1:14
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
exactly.
1:14
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Democrats tried to advance a similar resolution there,
1:17
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
but it...
1:18
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
failed by a vote of 47 to 49.
1:20
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
And as we know,
1:22
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
the war is intensifying.
1:24
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
18 U .S.
1:25
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
troops have died since fighting broke out in February and nearly 500
1:29
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
have been injured.
1:30
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
So Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said they're going to keep this issue
1:34
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
front and center.
1:35
S… Speaker 3 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
So it's perfectly appropriate and right and part of our obligation
1:39
S… Speaker 3 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
as the opposition party to force our Republican colleagues to vote
1:43
S… Speaker 3 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
again and again and again.
1:46
S… Speaker 3 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Until they see the light.
1:47
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
OK, that's Schumer speaking for the opposition party.
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
But what are Republicans saying?
1:51
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Well, there is some frustration in the GOP.
1:55
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Earlier this week,
1:56
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
we saw Defense Secretary Pete Hegg testify on Capitol Hill and
2:00
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Republicans had some questions for him at times.
2:03
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
They asked about Iran's.
2:05
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
nuclear program,
2:06
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
about its missile capabilities,
2:07
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
and about the future of the Strait of Hormuz.
2:09
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
But at the same time,
2:11
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
we can see that President Trump still has a lot of defenders here on
2:16
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
the Iran war.
2:17
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
One of them is Florida Republican Brian Mass.
2:19
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
He chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
2:22
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Take a listen to him on the House floor yesterday defending the mission.
2:25
S… Speaker 4 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
This operation is bringing a reckoning for
2:29
S… Speaker 4 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
the hundreds of times.
2:32
S… Speaker 4 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Iran has attacked and killed people of the United
2:36
S… Speaker 4 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
States of America.
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Well,
2:38
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
just looking ahead,
2:39
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Claudia, the House just left for their August recess.
2:42
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
The Senate is going to do the same very soon.
2:44
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Lawmakers are,
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
of course, going to be on the campaign trail.
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
How do you think the Iran war will play out for members as they're running for
2:51
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
reelection?
2:52
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Well, when we look at Republicans,
2:53
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
it's going to be difficult.
2:55
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
privately and in some cases publicly.
2:57
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
We're seeing GOP lawmakers say it's creating headaches for
3:02
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
their party on the campaign trail.
3:03
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Their voters are watching the violence escalate,
3:06
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
and they're also seeing the gas prices go up.
3:09
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
And this is one of the last chances for candidates and incumbents
3:13
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
to make their case before.
3:16
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
voters and the November midterms.
3:18
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
And so Republicans would much rather be talking about legislative wins,
3:22
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
about efforts to increase affordability,
3:25
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
but the war is complicating that message.
3:27
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Meanwhile,
3:28
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Democrats are eager to point all of that out and more in hopes
3:32
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
of winning back the majority in Congress.
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
That is MPR's Claudia Grisales.
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Thank you so much,
3:38
S… Speaker 2 (TOPIC 11 AUDIO DOC)
Claudia. Thank you.
