Speaker Nancy Pelosi also announced that the House would vote on Thursday on a measure that would curtail Mr. Trump’s war-making power. Democrats have also said that General Suleimani should face justice. All of the leading candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for president have for days excoriated Mr. Trump for his handling of the Iran crisis. On Tuesday, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. delivered a forceful and detailed critique of the Trump administration, faulting the president for bringing the nation “dangerously close” to war. The same day, on the ABC program “The View,” Ms. Warren made a similar comment, saying Mr. Trump had “moved us close to the edge of war” and argued that “having killed Suleimani does not make America safer.”
