Rand Paul leads five Republicans breaking with Trump after Venezuela strikes

2026-01-09 48 Dailymotion

A small bloc of Senate Republicans delivered a rare rebuke to Donald Trump days after U.S. actions against Venezuela’s leadership. Five Republicans joined all Democrats to advance a resolution that would limit the president’s authority to use military force in Venezuela without congressional approval.

The vote clears the way for a full Senate debate next week, requiring 51 votes to pass. While the measure is expected to advance, it must still survive amendments, and final passage is not guaranteed.
