Democratic Congress win gives party leverage to push to end Trump's Iran war

Democrats will control both houses of Congress after Tuesday's midterms, gaining budget and oversight tools to constrain Trump's Iran war.

• Democrats swept both houses of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, which Vice President JD Vance linked to the Iran war.
• Vance announced that "the reason we lost is the war," urging an end to the conflict and a change in the US relationship with Israel.
• Trump admitted the war raised gasoline prices but said ending it was not an option, stating "You can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon."
• Democrats plan to use Congress' control of the budget to block funding for combat operations against Iran and to launch investigations of top administration officials.
