Senate Blocks Venezuela War Powers Resolution 50-50 as Vance Casts Tie-Breaking Vote

On Jan. 14, 2026, Vice President JD Vance cast a tie-breaking vote to block a bipartisan Senate resolution that would have invoked the War Powers Resolution to limit Trump's military authority in Venezuela. The final vote was 50-50; Sens. Josh Hawley and Todd Young, who had previously supported the measure, reversed their votes after pressure from the Trump administration.
