The Iran nuclear deal is a "done deal."

Secretary of State John Kerry is very optimistic about the success of the Iran nuclear agreement, now that Sen. Barbara Milkulski's support makes 34 senators -- enough to sustain President Obama's veto of the Republican's resolution of disapproval.

There are enough senators left who have not declared a position that it is still possible that the resolution may not even be approved and not require a veto.   Now that the deal's survival is assured, I would think those who are wavering would want to be on the winning side.   On the other hand, some who may have wanted to vote the other way can now do so, knowing they will not be blamed for killing the deal.   We'll see.

Beyond this initial victory, however, Kerry is also confident that the people's perception of the deal will dramatically improve, such that by the 2017 inauguration of a new president, the country “will be 90 percent supportive,” and thus making it very difficult for even a Republican president to kill.

“I cannot see a president willfully taking the United Nations, five other nations who supported us in this negotiation and saying, 'Sorry, we're just going to walk away from this and create a more dangerous situation in the Middle East.' I just don't see that happening,” Kerry said.

UPDATE:   As of late Friday night, three more senators have signed on to support the deal, making 37.   This is just four short of what it would take to deny Republicans' effort to pass their disapproval resolution.   If we get there, Obama won't even have to veto it.
