US Senate Votes Unanimously for 19‑Day Recess Amid Trump‑Senators Clash over Iran War

The Senate adjourned for a 19‑day recess, set to resume on July 13, after unanimously approving a pause in business. The break followed a heated lunchtime meeting between President Trump and several Republican senators, including Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. During the encounter Trump shifted the discussion to the ongoing Iran conflict, berating Cassidy for voting to limit the president’s war‑powers and calling him a “loser.” Cassidy, along with other GOP senators and most Democrats, had earlier passed a non‑binding resolution urging the president to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities with Iran.

The meeting underscored growing tensions between Trump and members of his own party as the administration pushes the SAVE America Act and other legislative priorities. Senate Majority Leader John Thune moved to adjourn, and no objections were raised, allowing the chamber to go on recess until mid‑July.
