Vice President JD Vance cast the deciding vote Wednesday to effectively kill a Venezuelan war powers resolution after the Senate deadlocked on the measure. Vance broke a 50-50 tie on a vote that stops the Senate from further considering the resolution and senators will not take further votes on the resolution..

The Senate on Wednesday quashed a bipartisan resolution that would have required President Donald Trump to get congressional approval for any U.S. military activity in Venezuela.

"I have secured from the administration fairly extensive personal assurances related to our future intentions in Venezuela," Young told the press prior to the vote, according to The Hill.
