WASHINGTON — Sen. Chris Murphy scored a decisive win Wednesday in his campaign to end U.S. military involvement in Yemen, aided by his colleagues’ anger at how the Trump administration is responding to the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi. On a 63-37 vote, the Senate approved moving forward a resolution sponsored by Murphy and Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, that would require President Donald Trump to end support for Saudi Arabia’s military actions in Yemen by pulling all U.S. troops currently in or “affecting” Yemen within 30 days. The vote was on a procedural motion, not the resolution itself.
