Senate Republicans Block Venezuela War Powers Resolution

The U.S. Senate, led by Republicans, recently stopped a plan that would have required President Trump to ask Congress before taking more military action in Venezuela.

At first, five Republicans and all Democrats supported this plan, but two Republicans, Josh Hawley and Todd Young, changed their minds after President Trump and others pressured them.

This change led to a tie vote, which was then decided by Vice President JD Vance in favor of the Republicans.

The final vote was 51-50 against the plan, showing that President Trump has a lot of influence over his party.

This means the president can still take military action in Venezuela without first getting Congress's approval.
