From Two more House Democrats back Iran deal
Two top House Democrats have announced their support for the Iran nuclear deal.
Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat and the whip, says “no matter how deep, how personal, and how sincere” his concerns about the agreement are, they “do not outweigh the need for a united position on Iran.”
Rep. Xavier Becerra of California, who’s chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, says in a statement “No deal is perfect. We can always think of ways of making a deal better. But thinking is not doing. And speculation won’t stop Iran from reaching nuclear weapons capability.”
Both chambers of Congress open debate on the accord Wednesday afternoon.
