The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday narrowly defeated a Democratic resolution that would have limited President Donald Trump’s ability to use the military in Venezuela.

The 215–215 vote on the measure, which would have restricted military activity in the region through use of a War Powers Act resolution, was a nail-biter on Capitol Hill.

After Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.)—who have both clashed with the administration since Trump reclaimed the White House—broke with the Republican caucus and voted in favor of the measure, the vote sat on the cusp of passage with 215 votes in favor to 214 votes against.

As House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other Republican leaders worked to rally votes to defeat the legislation, the tally was held open for 20 minutes longer than the rules provided for, prompting protests from Democrats on the House floor.

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), who was away from Capitol Hill as he campaigned for the Texas Republican Senate primary, rushed back to the House rotunda to cast the decisive vote.

A similar measure also failed narrowly last week in the Senate.

A previous War Powers Resolution to restrict military activity in Venezuela had advanced in the upper chamber with the support of Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Todd Young (R-Ind.).

However, Hawley and Young later flipped their votes, allowing a second vote on the measure to be defeated 50–51 with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.
