The Iran Nuclear Deal, proposed by president Obama, failed for the second time in two weeks. The deal needed 60 votes to pass and barely fell short with 56 votes. The majority of Rebublicans are opposed to the deal. Two of the senators who were opposed to the deal, were not present at the vote because they were preparing for the presidential debates. GOP leaders had hoped that in addition to those twos absence two other democrats would buckle under pressure and change their votes, but that was not the case.
