Despite most Americans and members of Congress being opposed to President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, on Wednesday, the press proclaimed that the White House eking out just enough Democrats to sustain a veto against legislation stopping the deal was a “major victory” for the commander-in-chief.

On CBS This Morning, co-host Norah O’Donnell anticipated the supposed win: “This morning, President Obama has nearly locked up victory for his Iran nuclear deal....Two Senate Democrats pledged Tuesday to support the landmark agreement. That means Republican-led efforts to sink it will almost certainly fail....The President needs just one more to shield the deal from Republicans.”
