VERBATIM:
President Trump’s announcement Tuesday night of a cease-fire between the United States and Iran received a bipartisan welcome in Congress, but Democrats continued to raise questions about the path forward after weeks of war without congressional authorization.
House Speaker Mike Johnson reposted the president’s social media message announcing the cease-fire Tuesday night without commenting on it.
North Dakota Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer called it an example of Mr. Trump’s “peace through strength” approach.
