House Democrats are weighing an aggressive new tactic after repeated failures to curb President Donald Trump’s Iran war powers, according to Axios. The report said some lawmakers are proposing daily votes on war powers resolutions to pressure Republicans and keep the issue in public focus.
The idea emerged during a Congressional Progressive Caucus meeting and has drawn interest from both progressive and some centrist Democrats.

Supporters argue the strategy would force lawmakers to repeatedly take positions on the conflict and its consequences, including rising energy costs. The plan is still under discussion and has not been formally adopted by party leadership.
The push comes after a narrowly defeated House vote, where divisions within both parties affected the outcome.
Lawmakers backing the move say repeated votes could build political pressure even if measures fail, signaling continued Democratic resistance to the administration’s handling of the Iran conflict.
