Most Americans want Democrats focused on ending Iran war, lower costs: Poll
Poll shows most Americans want Democrats to end Iran war and lower costs.
Context
What happened: A Reuters/Ipsos poll found most Americans want Democrats in Congress to end the war in Iran, reverse Trump's trade policies, and lower living costs.
Key numbers: 71 percent backed legislation to end the war with Iran (93 percent of Democrats, 51 percent of Republicans).
Why it matters: Delivering on these priorities is difficult because most bills need 60 Senate votes to overcome a filibuster and Trump can veto legislation. The pressure comes amid a dispute over who should lead the party, with Jeffries and Schumer facing criticism.
