House Vote on Venezuela War Powers Ends in Tie, Keeping Trump Policy Intact
TL;DR Summary
House Republicans narrowly blocked a bid to require congressional approval for renewed military action in Venezuela, producing a 215-215 tie after two GOP defections; Rep. Wesley Hunt cast the tying vote to kill the measure, while Democrats supported it. The outcome preserves Trump’s Venezuela policy and follows a similar Senate move last week, highlighting ongoing questions about Congress’s war powers amid aggressive U.S. actions in the region.
