Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who had warned as a presidential candidate in the 2012 election that Russia is America's top geopolitical foe, voted against Sen. Schumer's resolution. Sen. Bernie Sanders missed the vote, his spokesman says, because he was in a meeting with women who had sent him a letter alleging a "predatory culture" while working for Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign.
