‘Red brick wall reduced to a pile of bricks’: Schumer on how Dems flipped Congress in the midterms
Chuck Schumer says Democrats will use their new majority to push for an end to the Iran war and broader oversight of the Trump administration.
- 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.
