House Democratic leaders will speak with reporters Tuesday morning as angst over the Trump administration’s moves in Iran and perceived party divisions come into the spotlight.
Indirect peace talks between the U.S. and Tehran are expected to continue in Qatar on Tuesday, after the two sides signed the 14-point memorandum of understanding earlier this month that Democrats have heavily criticized. Tit-for-tat strikes over the weekend threatened the movement of a potential deal, but the tensions have settled for now.
As progressive candidates rack up victories in the primaries, divisions within the caucus have been revealed, even as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefries (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats brush off the concerns. President Trump has sought to capitalize on the rise of democratic socialists, signaling “communists” are now making their move.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10:45 a.m. EDT.
