Ashley Hinson is ready to stand up to Donald Trump, provided Congress doesn’t turn it into a whole legislative thing.
CBS News reports that the Iowa Senate candidate now promises to challenge him when he is wrong. Trump is due in Iowa Thursday to help her campaign. It is a delicate arrangement: he will demonstrate how useful he is to her, and she will demonstrate how difficult she could become for him, hypothetically, after November.
Earlier in September, however, she voted against a resolution to rein in his war powers in Iran. Two other Iowa Republicans supported it. Apparently they misunderstood the assignment and pushed a button.
Hinson wants the war brought to an immediate and successful end. She says Congress doesn’t need another resolution and wants Trump able to arrange an orderly end himself. This leaves the president facing the full force of an adjective.
