The senator's comments are an unusual divergence from the president inside a Republican party that has typically stuck by him.

DES MOINES – A senior Republican senator and staunch ally of President Donald Trump said Monday that Congress would"probably override" a veto if the president decided to veto a Congressional plan to rename military bases named after Confederate leaders.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, made the comments Monday on a call with reporters when discussing an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would remove the names of Confederate leaders from military assets within three years."I would hope he wouldn’t veto it just based on that," Grassley said of Trump.

Grassley raised the possibility that the issue of renaming bases could be considered separately from the full defense spending bill but said he believes Congress has the votes to override a presidential veto if it comes to that.The senator's comments are an unusual divergence from the president inside a Republican party that has typically stuck by him.
