The Senate’s war powers resolution on Venezuela is on shaky ground ahead of a final vote this week, with two key Republicans who helped advance the measure now declining to say how they will vote after pressure from the White House.
“My concern is about ground troops in Venezuela without congressional authorization. So they’ve been very, very responsive on that,” Sen. Josh Hawley said Tuesday.
Hawley was among five Republicans to support a vote last week to move ahead with the bill to check President Donald Trump on Venezuela, prompting a public callout and pressure campaign meant to stop final passage.
