McConnell: Iran Is Going To Be Very Hard Sell for the Administration

‘Well, I think it’s going to be a hard sell — he knows that the resolution of disapproval is likely to be introduced, is very likely to pass and very likely to get over 60 votes’

BAIER: "According to a few press reports, the White House had a meeting Monday, a conference call with liberal groups, progressive groups saying — getting ready for this push, saying it will be the president’s number one foreign policy achievement.  But at the end, it said, “The White House remains confident that if Congress rejects the deal, the president could veto that action and continue to move forward.”"
MCCONNELL: "That’s what I was talking about.  It would require 34 votes for him to go forward."
BAIER: "Right.  So, can you see them getting that?"
MCCONNELL: "Well, I think it’s going to be a hard sell.  He knows that the resolution of disapproval is likely to be introduced, is very likely to pass and very likely to get over 60 votes. If he vetoes that, in order to sustain the veto, he would need 34 votes — which is what I was referring to earlier."
