Senate Advances Venezuela War Powers Resolution With Hawley Voting Yes

The Senate advanced a resolution to limit future U.S. military action in Venezuela without congressional approval, with Hawley among five Republicans joining Democrats. Center outlets emphasize the vote’s procedural path and Hawley’s explanation that future troop deployments require congressional approval. Right-leaning outlets give more weight to Trump’s response and the political dispute, with some framing the resolution as a check on his military authority.
