While Iran featured less prominently on the second night of debates, moderators asked candidates in the first round whether they would reenter the Iran nuclear deal “as it was originally negotiated.”
Every candidate on stage except for Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., responded yes even as they continued to criticize parts of President Barack Obama’s accord.
Why it matters: The question marked the first time that several other candidates have vowed to reenter the nuclear deal — Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, former Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
