Senate Votes to End the Iran War: Kaine Joins CNN to Discuss

Published | Video Starts at 01:02

Why do you think Senator Cassidy voted with you this time? Well, you know, Caitlin, I don't want to put words in colleagues mouths, but I guess the way I'll say this is When we started on this path to say no war against Iran without a vote of Congress, we had one Republican vote, Rand Paul. A few weeks later, we were eight weeks into the war. We had a second Republican vote, Susan Collins last week. (01:02–01:11)

CLAIM
