Josh Hawley, one of the loudest GOP voices against the provision, told NOTUS.

Donald Trump promised to campaign “really hard” for a primary opponent to run against Rep. Thomas Massie after the Kentucky Republican broke with the president over his decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.

Several Democrats on Capitol Hill notably broke with their party and publicly supported President Donald Trump’s strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, highlighting a divide over how best to respond to the act of aggression.
