4/7/2026 - Cory Booker condemns Trump's Iran Threats and calls out GOP failures

Senator Cory Booker joined Senator Jeff Merkley and Representative Maxine Dexter to address Trump's reckless and dangerous threats to Iran. Senator Booker has said: "Trump's escalation in Iran is reckless. It is unconstitutional. It is dangerous with consequences both vast and globally destabilizing. Right now, the world is holding its breath - watching, waiting, with many fearing what comes next. Moments like this are why the Senate exists. Not to sit silent. Not to stand down. But to check the abuses of an unrestrained executive. We cannot abdicate that duty. The Senate Majority Leader must choose country over party, summon the Senate back into session, and confront this crisis before it spirals further."
