But he also got some very good news today from Washington DC, when Sen. Barbara Mikulski announced that she’s going to support the Iran nuclear deal, giving Obama the 34 Senate votes he needs to prevent Republicans from overriding his veto of any legislative attempt to kill the deal.
“No deal is perfect, especially one negotiated with the Iranian regime. I have concluded that this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is the best option available to block Iran from having a nuclear bomb,” Mikulski said in a statement explaining why she is backing the deal.
