WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Steve Daines today slammed Senate Democrats for blocking an up or down vote on the President’s deal with Iran: “The American people deserve to have an up or down vote on one of the most consequential issues facing our nation.

Newsmax: GOP Sen. Daines: Iran Deal Fight Similar to Obamacare
