Democrats are at odds over the Israel-Iran war as Trump considers intervening

Democrats seems to be finding themselves at odds once more when it comes to the Mideast. Progressives are demanding a unified opposition to President Donald Trump's consideration of a strike against Iran. But party leaders are treading more cautiously while demanding a role for Congress before Trump could use force. Many prominent Democrats with 2028 presidential aspirations are staying silent on the Israel-Iran war. Israel’s war against Hamas loomed over the Democratic ticket in 2024. And now Trump's flirtation with entering the Israel-Iran war is the latest test for the party out of power as it struggles to repair its coalition before next year’s midterm elections.
