Democrats are not waiting until January to try to end the Iran war
MS NOW reports that after Democrats won both chambers in the 2026 midterms, they aim to force an end to Trump's eight-month Iran war before taking office in January 2027, eyeing the 11 December funding deadline, the defense bill, and an impeachment vote on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as leverage. Gallego calls the funding deadline Democrats' strongest lever, Meeks plans a war powers resolution on day one, and Schumer, DeLauro, and Jeffries say they will not fund the war.
