Schumer Says Republicans Favor Ending Iran War Immediately, Cites ‘Power of the Purse’
Schumer said Democrats will use congressional control to cut off Defense Department funding until Trump ends the conflict, after Republicans lost seats over the war.
- On Wednesday, Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer indicated Democrats will cut off Defense funding to end the Iran War when they take the majority next year.
- Earlier this year, Republicans including Sens. Rand Paul, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, and Lisa Murkowski voted with most Democrats to pass a war powers resolution aimed at compelling President Donald Trump to end the Iran War.
- Citing the Founding Fathers' "power of the purse," Schumer said, "We are going to end the war," describing it as a way to deter a president acting without consent of the American people.
- Vice President Vance acknowledged that voter dissatisfaction with the Iran War and rising energy prices caused by closure of the Strait and Hormuz were major reasons for Republicans' defeat.
- Democrats secured majorities in the House and Senate, with at least 54 members in the upper chamber, positioning them to force President Donald Trump to wind down the conflict next year.
