Senate Votes To Advance Venezuela War Powers Resolution

WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 8: Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) (L) talks about military action to Venezuela and says "The idea that we are now going to run this country of so many millions without having to put boots on the ground, that we are going to somehow oversee a transition over a period of time without putting our service members further at risk seems highly improbable, to say the least" as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) look on as they hold a news conference on the Venezuela War Powers Resolution at the U.S. Capitol on January 8, 2026 in Washington, DC. The Senate passed the bipartisan resolution 52-47 which will advance legislation to setup a vote to limit President Trump's use of the U.S. military force Venezuela without Congressional authorized.
