Senate Republicans Block Venezuela War Powers Resolution

The Senate defeated a resolution that would have limited further U.S. military action in Venezuela after Josh Hawley and Todd Young reversed their earlier support. President Trump had urged Republicans to oppose it, and Vice President JD Vance broke the tie. Center outlets connect Trump's lobbying and criticism with Hawley and Young's reversals, while recounting the Senate procedure; some coverage uses more dramatic language. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the 51-50 procedural defeat and the two Republicans' changed votes.
