Josh Hawley Tries to Make Amends After Trump Calls For His Defeat: 'I Love the President' [View all]

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) tried to make amends with President Donald Trump on Thursday after he voted to advance a bipartisan bill that would block the Trump administration from putting troops into Venezuela again without Congressional approval.

Trump attacked Hawley and the four other Republicans who voted for the bill, saying they should never win another election. “Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again,” Trump raged, adding:

This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief.

Hawley took to social media to explain his vote, writing, “With regard to Venezuela, my read of the Constitution is that if the President feels the need to put boots on the ground there in the future, Congress would need to vote on it. That’s why I voted yes on this morning’s Senate resolution.”
