The endorsement comes after incumbent Congressman Tony Gonzalez exited the race amid a House ethics investigation tied to an admitted affair with a former staffer.

Gonzalez had initially advanced to a runoff but withdrew it before it could take place.

Herrera, a self-described Second Amendment activist and social media personality, narrowly edged Gonzalez in the primary and now appears poised to carry the Republican banner into November.

He will face Democratic nominee Katie Padilla Stout and what is expected to be a closely watched general election showdown.

To actually create real peace, you have to do these kinds of actions just like happened.

Yes, many Republicans have been supportive of these strikes, backing the president's message as senators like Lindsey Graham have wanted to see changes in Iran for years now.

You've also seen some conservatives that might not be so thrilled about the prospect of military intervention, while others in Congress are also wanting to see some more details about the information in these post-strike briefings.

However, one key aspect of this is the overall concern about domestic threats, like the reports that we saw out of Austin, Texas over the weekend, including the possibility of Iranian sleeper cells.

And people like Senator Dave McCormick have called on Homeland Security's shutdown to come to an end, as that department plays a critical role in monitoring these kinds of threats.

From mainline Democrats in Congress and in the commentary world, they've strongly rebuked the decision by the president to attack Iran without prior congressional approval.

Of course, some members of Congress were briefed in the week leading up to the strikes.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Democrat in the country, did say that he's been very unhappy with the Trump administration in regards to this.

He wants some more information about these strikes and wanted Congress to be more included in this process.

Here's liberal commentator Rachel Maddow saying that the recent move is probably not about helping liberate the Iranian people from their regime.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost to President Trump in 2024, said that Trump is dragging the U.S.

into another war that we do not want.

There's also some nuance developing among Democrats with some like Democrat political advisor Moshe Madera, who went on CNN criticizing members of their party.

Most notably, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said that, quote, President Trump has been willing to do what's right and necessary to produce a real peace in the region.

He also said that he would vote against a war powers resolution in Congress if one went up for a vote.

Well, yes, we've got the midterms coming up, including some primaries in the coming days.
