As the conflict in Iran intensifies, US President Trump once again turned his attention to domestic issues, claiming that the Democratic Party has become America's "biggest enemy."
On the evening of March 22 local time, Trump posted on the "Truth Social" platform: "Now that Iran is facing 'extinction,' the biggest enemy of the United States is the radical left-wing, extremely incompetent Democratic Party!"

In subsequent posts, Trump criticized Texas Democratic figures James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett, who are competing for the state's Democratic senatorial nomination. Trump called Talarico "the worst candidate" and accused Crockett of being "intellectually deficient."
He also claimed that California Governor Newsom delivered "the worst speech by a career politician in history."
Earlier that day, US Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said that as criticism of the ongoing conflict with Iran increases, Trump has "lost control of the war in Iran" and is in a "state of panic."
He also criticized: "This crazy war launched by Trump is dragging down our entire economy."
According to The New York Times, on March 18 local time, the US Senate rejected a Democratic proposal requiring the Trump administration to halt offensive military actions in Iran before Congress formally authorizes such actions.
The vote result was 53 votes against and 47 votes in favor, with the results almost entirely divided along party lines, with only one Republican voting in favor and only one Democrat voting against.
Democrats stated that they will continue to push similar proposals to oppose Trump's "unilateral use of force."
