House Democratic leaders demanded on Tuesday that lawmakers return to Washington at once after President Donald Trump's latest threat against Iran, calling his rhetoric "completely unhinged" and warning that Congress must act before the conflict spirals further.
In a statement released April 7, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark, Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, Vice Chair Ted Lieu, Assistant Leader Joe Neguse and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said the House "must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III."
