The Senate advanced a resolution that would require congressional authorization for further U.S. military action in Venezuela, with several Republicans joining Democrats. The vote cleared a procedural hurdle but did not pass the resolution itself.
The Senate advanced a war powers resolution on a 52-47 vote, with Republican Sens. Todd Young, Josh Hawley, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul supporting it alongside Democrats. The resolution would direct the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities in Venezuela not authorized by Congress; it still requires further debate and votes. Tim Kaine forced the procedural vote.
Young and Collins said they supported Maduro’s capture but wanted Congress to authorize any future sustained military action. The White House defended the operation and said it would recommend a veto if the resolution reached Trump; Trump criticized the Republican senators who supported it. Vice President JD Vance said the measure would not change the administration’s actions.
