Senate Rejects Peace Treaty With 57 to 3 Vote
The Senate rejected ratification of the peace treaty by 57 to 3 after a day of bitter debate. Democrats opposed the measure while a mix of Republicans and reservationists supported it, and several Democrats switched to vote in favor. A renewed bid for a peace declaration faces uncertain prospects as President Wilson opposes the move and two‑thirds support in both chambers is doubtful.
