WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats in Congress said on Wednesday they were warming to the nuclear agreement with Iran, and Vice President Joe Biden, sent to Capitol Hill to pitch the deal, said he was optimistic it would not be blocked by the majority Republicans who oppose it.

"I think we'll be all right," Biden told reporters after a closed meeting with Democrats in the House of Representatives.
