Overview
- The Senate voted 52-47 to advance a War Powers resolution requiring congressional authorization before further U.S. military action in Venezuela.
- Five Republicans — Josh Hawley, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Susan Collins and Todd Young — joined Democrats to move the measure forward.
- NBC News reported that Trump made angry calls to the five Republicans and threatened primary challenges; a person familiar said his call to Collins grew especially heated.
- In a Truth Social post, Trump said the senators "should never be elected to office again" and argued the War Powers Act is unconstitutional.
- A final Senate vote is expected next week, with Hawley saying he could change his vote, as some Republicans back Maduro’s capture yet insist future troop commitments require explicit congressional approval.
