What happened
Senators are preparing to vote on a war powers resolution aimed at halting Donald Trump's military action, which has been linked to spikes in fuel prices. Concurrently, a survey found that about half of rural American voters believe the economy is worse off since Donald Trump returned to office, identifying high costs for groceries, gas, and healthcare as major concerns.
