After the vote, Trump threatened the senators with primary challenges, according to people with knowledge of the calls.

Hours after the Senate voted to advance the war powers resolution rebuking the White House’s current and future actions in Venezuela, Donald Trump placed “angry” calls to each of the 5 Republicans who crossed the aisle, according to people with knowledge of the calls.

Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.; Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Susan Collins, R-Maine; and Todd Young, R-Ind., voted with Democrats to require the administration to get congressional approval for future military action in Venezuela.

Thursday’s vote was a procedural motion, and it advances the legislation to a full Senate vote that will require a simple majority.

Soon after the vote, Trump threatened each senator with primary challenges, vowing to unseat them, the people said.
