Ghalibaf said that "Conscience or the cost of living, Americans said NO TO WAR, and we endorse this message."

What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on election results being read through the Iran war, with CNBC and BBC News both foregrounding Iranian speaker Ghalibaf saying Americans voted “no to war,” and CBS News echoing that the results showed rejection of the war. Reason is the outlier, framing the story as a question of how Democrats can use Congress to constrain presidential war powers. The 60 Minutes pieces are the only ones centered on how Democrats may handle the war after their wins, including interviews with H.R. McMaster and Rep. Jason Crow.
