Republicans are already fighting over President Trump’s proposed $200 billion Iran war supplemental, and Sen. Rand Paul has vowed to oppose any new war funding. Paul argues Trump lacked congressional authorization for strikes and that continued funding would prolong the conflict and hurt GOP House and Senate prospects, framing defunding as a way to bring troops home and criticizing Congress for failing to check presidential war powers while also reiterating his opposition to Markwayne Mullin for DHS.
