Sen. Barbara Mikulski

Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski from Maryland added her support to the White House-backed Iran nuclear deal late Wednesday morning, giving President Obama the necessary votes to withstand any congressional veto.
In a tweet, Jonathan Weisman of the New York Times wrote: “Sen. Barbara Mikulski supports the #IranDeal … She makes a veto of the Iran deal bulletproof.”
And Matt Lee, a reporter with the Associated Press, tweeted: “Democrat Mikulski is 34th senator to support #Iran nuke deal, ensuring landmark Obama victory.”
Her stated support marks a huge win for Obama, who’s been on a public relations campaign for weeks to press the deal with Iran, at points calling on Americans to contact their congressional members and advocate similarly.

Not all see the deal as a boon for America. A few days ago, 200-plus former generals and admirals penned a letter to House and Senate leadership requesting they stand strong against the deal, and saying Iran won too many concessions at the expense of U.S. national security. Among their concerns: The deal gives Iran the right to delay inspectors at suspected nuclear sites up to 24 days; the deal grants up to $150 billion in sanctions’ relief the country could use for state-sponsored terrorism; and the deal requires inspectors ask, not demand, Tehran grant entry to suspected spots.
In short, critics charge the deal will give Iran the ability to get nuclear weapons in the coming months and years.
Sen. Marco Rubio, reacting to the latest news on Fox News, said the House and Senate will be taking a vote on the deal, regardless of Mikulski’s announcement.
He said: “I’m confident that the majority in the House and Senate are going to reject this deal.”
Rubio also reminded the nuke deal isn’t a treaty and as such, will be subject to change, or even obliteration, in an ensuing White House administration.
