Senate Democrats have rallied the 34 votes they need to keep the Iran nuclear deal alive in Congress, handing President Barack Obama a major foreign policy victory.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland became the crucial 34th vote Wednesday morning, declaring the agreement is the best way to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Congress is to vote later this month on a resolution disapproving the deal, which is unanimously opposed by Republicans, who call it a dangerous giveaway to Iran.
Obama has vowed to veto the resolution if it passes. It would take 34 votes to uphold his veto, and Democrats now have those in hand.
Oh there is no joy in the Republican Mudville today my friends.
And I think we know we can all count on a poorly worded, venom soaked tirade from you know who later today.
However for the rest of us this is a damn good deal, and more importantly one that removes yet another bogeyman from the GOP's closet of horrors which they use to frighten the American people into voting for them.
Not only that but the President accomplished this while hanging out up here in the last Frontier.
