Senate Democratic Leader Schumer Vows to End Iran War; Trump Defends It
Current overview (not historical)
U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on November 4 that the Iran war "must end" and that Democrats will end it, with some Republicans joining the effort. He cited Congress's control of federal spending as a way to prevent the president from waging war without congressional approval. The statement came after multiple U.S. media outlets predicted Democrats would win the November 3 midterms and retake control of the House and Senate. On the same day, Trump acknowledged that the Iran war hurt Republican election performance, but said starting the war was "worth it".
