Seven House Republicans vote to end Iran war with Democrats

Seven House Republicans broke with President Trump on September 16, 2026, and voted with Democrats to end the war in Iran. The vote was symbolic and does not force the president to act. Among those who voted for the resolution were Iowa Republicans Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn. Democrats have called the war "disastrous" and say they will keep pushing the Trump administration to stop it. The vote shows that some Republicans are unhappy with the president's military policy. Vice President JD Vance has asked Trump supporters to back Republican candidates in the midterm elections, even if they disagree on some issues. The administration appears worried that this internal disagreement could hurt the party at the polls.
