What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Democrats criticized Donald Trump's administration for launching a war with Iran on February 28 without securing Congressional approval, and they have introduced resolutions to end the fighting. Recently, Donald Trump's administration lifted or waived sanctions on Russian diesel and Russian energy, which angered members of Congress. Separately, Barack Obama announced support for Sherrod Brown and Amy Action in their midterm campaigns to help the Democratic Party gain control of the U.S. Congress.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Political efforts by Democrats to gain control of Congress could allow them to approve new aid to Ukraine, potentially overcoming a veto from Donald Trump's administration. Furthermore, Congressional action could target foreign policy initiatives, such as blocking the return of Russian diesel to the global market.
