Trump, Senate GOP block Venezuela war powers vote

What happened

The Senate on Wednesday quashed a bipartisan resolution that would have required President Donald Trump to get congressional approval for any U.S. military activity in Venezuela. Five Republicans voted with Democrats last week to force a vote on the measure, but two of them — Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.) and Todd Young (Ind.) — flipped under intense pressure from Trump. Vice President JD Vance had to break the 50-50 deadlock to scuttle the legislation.
