A handful of Republicans joined Democrats in the 50-48 vote on Tuesday, marking a powerful and public bipartisan show of disapproval of the war, which began in February.
The same measure was passed by the US House of Representatives in June, where several Republicans also joined Democrats to approve it.
But the measure is largely symbolic as the resolution, even after passed by both chambers of Congress, will not be sent to Trump for his consideration and does not carry the force of the law.
