Hawley's War Powers Vote Sparks Backlash from Trump-Supporting Conservatives and Democrats Alike

Sen. Josh Hawley is facing backlash from the MAGA base after voting with Democrats and a small group of Republican senators to advance a war powers resolution related to Venezuela, ramping up pressure on him ahead of a Senate vote that could confirm his leadership as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The resolution aims to limit the Biden administration's authority to intervene in the Venezuelan crisis without congressional approval. Hawley's decision has sparked criticism from conservative groups and some Republican lawmakers who are now urging him to resign. A Senate vote on the resolution is expected soon, potentially further escalating tensions surrounding Hawley's leadership.
