This evening, the House narrowly rejected a War Powers resolution to restrict President Trump’s military authority in Venezuela. The final vote was 215-215 vote. Thomas Massie and Don Bacon were the only two House Republicans to vote in favor of the resolution.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson held the vote open for 20 minutes while Democrats shouted at him to close it. This allowed Rep. Wesley Hunt, who arrived late, to show up and cast the last vote that kept the resolution from passing. CBS News reported: Democrats continue to hammer the issue and have repeatedly tried to block further military action in the South American country, but the efforts have lacked enough GOP support. Two Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure, which narrowly failed in a 215 to 215 vote. Republicans had to hold the 2-minute vote open for more than 20 minutes until Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt of Texas arrived to cast the tie-breaking vote, which defeated the measure. The delay in closing the vote caused an outcry from Democrats. “Close the vote!” Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan of New York yelled as it was on the brink of passage without Hunt’s vote. “This is serious s***!” The vote comes a week after the White House peeled off GOP support for a similar measure in the Senate that also narrowly failed to advance. Two Senate Republicans who flipped their votes to help sink the resolution said Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave them assurances that the president would seek congressional authorization if the administration plans to put U.S. troops in Venezuela. The House resolution, introduced by Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, “directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from Venezuela, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for use of military force.” Two prior attempts to limit Mr. Trump’s authority to strike Venezuela and suspected drug-smuggling boats in the region fell short in December, before this month’s U.S. operation to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Ultimately, this was another win for President Trump. But really, this vote should not have been so close. Calls are growing to oust Massie and Bacon, who consistently vote against President Trump’s agenda: Of course Massie and Bacon. So sick of them both. — LegioInvictus (@LegioInvictus24) January 22, 2026 Both of these traitors must go — L (@lmevans411) January 22, 2026 Why are we seeing with damn near every vote the name Thomas Massie opposing Trump on 90%+ of Bills in the House? — Steven Kerwin (@StevenKerwin) January 23, 2026 Your thoughts?
