The House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a war powers resolution aimed at ending unauthorized U.S. military involvement in Iran, marking the most significant congressional challenge yet to President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict.

The measure, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) invokes the 1973 War Powers Resolution and would require the administration to obtain explicit authorization from Congress before continuing hostilities against Iran, except in cases involving an imminent threat to the United States. The vote followed months of growing bipartisan concern over a conflict that began in.

A flurry of late night election tabulations has put Republicans one seat away from officially winning a majority in the House of Representatives.

Monday evening, a series of congressional races were called for Republicans, but one highly anticipated governor’s election dealt a blow to the GOP.

Nearly one week after Election Day, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) officially defeated MAGA firebrand and former TV host Kari Lake (R).

Outgoing Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) was an avid critic of Lake throughout the campaign.

While Republicans aimed to make major inroads in Arizona this midterm cycle the results have been lackluster.

However, two California Republicans successfully fought off their Democrat challengers Monday night putting the GOP one seat away from a majority.

Incumbent Reps. Ken Calvert (R) and Michelle Steel (R) fended off their Democrat challengers, keeping California’s 41st and 45th Congressional Districts in Republican control.

Steel defeated Democrat Jay Chen to continue serving California’s 45th Congressional District. With 69% of the votes counted as of Monday night, Steel had 53.8% to Chen’s 46.2%, the Associated Press reported.

“I am humbled to continue to fight for this community in Congress,” Steele tweeted, thanking the voters in her district. “Thank you to the voters of #CA45 for putting your trust in me. Let’s get to work.”

Calvert faced off against Democrat Will Rollins in the Nov. 8 midterm elections. With 80% of the votes in, Calvert had a 5,500 vote lead over Rollins, the Associated Press reported.

Calvert was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1992 and serves as dean of the California Republican Delegation, according to The Washington Examiner.

Nearly a week after Election Day, 10 House races are still outstanding in California. The tightest race remaining in California is for the open seat in District 13 where Democrat Adam Gray has a 761-vote lead over Republican John Duarte with nearly 80% of the votes counted, according to the Associated Press.

Trump-endorsed firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is still awaiting election results one week after Election Day. Democrat challenger Adam Frisch is seeking to unseat the pro-Second Amendment Republican to represent Colorado’s 3rd District.

The votes in the election between the two candidates are still being counted and, in some cases, “cured,” and the margin between the two remains razor-thin. As of Monday afternoon, the vote tally in the district counted Boebert at 162,040 votes against Frisch’s 160,918 votes, giving the incumbent Republican a lead of just 1,122 votes, according to the Denver Gazette.

    “ Nearly one week after Election Day and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) officially defeated MAGA firebrand and former TV host Kari Lake (R).”

    What is the matter with you? The Associated Press doesn’t decide election results! This is just another media prediction.

    I would have been shocked if Kari Lake won this race, given that her opponent was already one foot in the door with the ballot counting. I will never trust these no-integrity Dems with anything.

    Kari,
    Challenge her position as a conflicted and corrupted state political official and then challenge the count due to the voting machines malfunctioning on election day.

    Do not give up !!!

      Kari Lake, do not concede, there is no way you lost, you are easily winning the legitimate votes. The Dems methods of getting and counting votes make their results extremely questionable, and Repubs must demand not a recount, but a redo of the election. Both parties know that Kari won this contest in an honest election.

    Have you ever wondered just HOW America has ended up with the caliber of civil “leaders” she has today, on both sides of the imaginary aisle?

    Could it have something to do with Article 6’s Christian test ban by which mandatory biblical qualifications were likewise eliminated? Once adopted, it was inevitable that America would be ruled by nothing but nincompoops, scoundrels, incompetents, immoral reprobates, and outright criminals. Sound familiar?
     
    Take nincompoops, for example. Exodus 18:21’s qualifications begin with the fear of Yahweh. Kings David and Solomon point out the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Thus, without the fear of Yahweh, you end up with, at best, nincompoops as your alleged leaders.
     
    The best you can ever get from the Constitutional Republic’s unbiblical election system is the lessers of two evils. Sometimes, the worst of the worst. And always, the evil of two lessers.

    For more regarding Article 6’s Christian test ban, see Chapter 9 “Article 6: The Supreme Law of the Land” of free online book “Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at Bible versus Constitution dot org. Click on the top entry on our Online Book page and scroll down to Chapter 9.

      Jesus won’t save you. He never has. The real truth is Jesus never even lived. Jesus is a construct, a mythical religious fiction and the modern world can prove it academically.

        Sam Gillespie

        Pretty outrageous statements you are making. Where are your sources, your facts? I think you are just tossing out comments without substantiation in order to confuse people

    m lopez

    Of course they stole her election and of course they are sorting through the house races and only allowing Rino Republicans to win a tiny majority so they can elect McCarthy as opposed to Scalise. They have total control over the election process, the media, the Federal Reserve and the economy. We live in tyranny.

    Phyll2

    As long as Republicans play by democrat rules which encourage voting before you even know who is running, sending ballots to everyone you possibly can and then return as many of them (whether they were properly filled out or not), passing laws at the last minute to change the rules of the election, never cleaning your voter roles, bringing in outside “new residents” to vote for your candidate, using paid ballot collectors, etc., it’s a big list, they cannot hope to win a lot. This was strike two. Is strike three the trigger for civil war? It probably should be or you might as well plan to move to another country. Oh wait, America was the last best hope for the world, wasn’t it? Where can you and everyone else go now?
