Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said on the Senate floor Wednesday. The resolution must still be taken up in the House, where members passed a nearly identical resolution to end U.S. participation in the Yemen war earlier this year. Only seven Senate Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday to back the vote on ending support for the Saudi war effort. Sanders teamed with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on the legislation, which seeks to invoke the War Powers Resolution to curtail American participation in the war.
