NEWS: Trump’s Iran Strike Shakes Texas Senate Race as Democrats Demand War Powers Vote

U.S. military strikes on Iran ordered by Donald Trump have become a major issue in the closely watched Texas Senate race, intensifying political divisions just days before key voting.

Democrats are demanding Congress invoke its war powers authority, arguing the president launched military action without proper authorization and risks dragging the United States into a wider conflict. Several lawmakers called for an immediate vote to limit further military operations.

Republicans, meanwhile, largely praised the strikes, describing them as necessary to counter Iran’s threats and protect American interests, with party leaders applauding the administration’s decisive response.

The foreign policy crisis has now become a defining campaign issue in Texas, highlighting sharp partisan disagreements over presidential war powers and the future direction of U.S. involvement in the Middle East.
