On Capitol Hill today, three major votes testing Trump's policies and U.S. policy on big issues,

including military action in Venezuela and the expired Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardin has been covering it all from chamber to chamber at the Capitol, where she joins me now.

So Lisa, let's begin in the Senate where we saw a rare rebuke there of the president on

the issue of Venezuela.

What happened?

Right.

The Senate voted today to advance in a bill that would essentially say the U.S. can

no longer add any military troops or in or around Venezuela.

It would essentially ban much of what the president has said he would be doing.

According to the supporters of it, it would mean no blockade, none of that.

This was a vote to advance that idea into next week, and in the end it was a dramatic vote.

We didn't know if it had the votes to pass

going into the chamber. It did pass thanks to five Republicans in the Senate who sided

with Democrats. You can take a look at who those five Republicans are. Two of them unexpected.

Senators Josh Hawley and Todd Young. They were someone who had criticized the president on this,

but we weren't sure if they were actually going to vote against him in the end.

They did.

So as I say, this was procedural, but it's important because it means next week there will

be a full debate on the military action in Venezuela, and there will be a vote on this

bill.

It is expected to pass.
