US congressional Democrats are considering whether to use the December 11 due date of government funding to pressure President Trump to end the war in Iran. The Congress, which is currently controlled by the Republican Party, enters the “lame duck” session this week. How to deal with the upcoming government funding period has become the most important decision facing the Democratic Party. One option is to force the problem to be solved now to end the war as soon as possible and ease pressure on prices such as gasoline and diesel. Another option is to wait until next year, when the results of the Democratic Party's landslide victory in the midterm elections will officially take effect, and the majority status of both houses of the Senate and the House of Representatives will be transferred to the Democratic Party.
