January 2026: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Senate Defeats Bill To Block Military Action In Venezuela After Two R's Flip, Vance Breaks Tie

Senate Defeats Bill To Block Military Action In Venezuela After Two R's Flip, Vance Breaks Tie
"The U.S. Senate killed a Democrat-led resolution that would constrain President Donald Trump (and the next guy's) ability to wage continued military action against Venezuela.
The War Powers resolution, sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), was on track to make it to a final vote until Sen. James Risch (R-ID) raised a point of order challenging the premise of Kaine's resolution. Then, Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Todd Young (R-IN) voted to support said point of order after coming under intense pressure from Trump - who earlier called for their ouster from the Senate last week.
Vice President JD Vance then stepped in with a tie-breaking vote to break the 50-50 deadlock, handing Democrats a loss."
