Did Senator Tillis support the Murkowski AUMF for the Iran war?
Background
North Carolina's relevance to the Iran conflict is primarily through the War Powers Resolution politics. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) publicly backed the Murkowski AUMF concept but the bill was not filed by the 28 April target date. North Carolina is one of eight states with active mid-decade redistricting; its 14 congressional seats include several held by Republicans who face pressure between the Trump administration's Iran policy and their district-level scepticism about supplemental defence spending driving inflation.
