Of the 47 senators who signed the letter, four are openly considering their own presidential campaigns: Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Texas governor Rick Perry, also looking at White House bids, joined in support. Jindal responded to Clinton, the leading Democratic presidential contender: “No one who allows Iran to become a nuclear power should consider running.”

Cotton defended the letter on Twitter, saying the goal is to protect the United States from a “bad deal.”
