- Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wisc.), the GOP nominee in Wisconsin's competitive gubernatorial race, reupped calls Tuesday for President Trump to end U.S. military operations against Iran.
- FOX6 News reporter Jason Calvi pressed Tiffany on why he has repeatedly declined to support a war powers resolution on Iran.
Why it matters: Tiffany's split posture — publicly demanding the Iran war end while blocking the congressional tool that could force it to — highlights a recurring pattern in GOP anti-war rhetoric: candidates want the political credit for opposing the war without taking the legislative vote that would actually constrain the president. In a competitive gubernatorial race, that positioning appeals to anti-war Republican and independent voters without alienating Trump loyalists who may bristle at a war-powers rebuke.
