In Bipartisan Vote, House Censures Rashida Tlaib

Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet

 

On Tuesday evening, hours after the House voted against tabling the motion to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the chamber formally voted to do just that. The vote was initially supposed to be on Wednesday, but was moved to Tuesday night not long before it took place. In a bipartisan vote of 234-188, the House voted to censure Tlaib for her anti-semitic and anti-Israel remarks following the October 7 terrorist attack that Hamas perpetrated against Israel. Twenty-two Democrats crossed the aisle to vote to censure one of their own. 

 

The Democrats who crossed the aisle included Reps. Steve Cohen (TN), Jim Costa (CA), Angie Craig (MN), Don Davis (NC), Lois Frankel (FL), Jared Golden (ME), Dan Goldman (D-NY), Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Greg Landsman (OH), Susie Lee (NV), Kathy Manning (NC), Jared Moskowitz (FL), Wiley Nickel (NC), Chris Pappas (NH), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Pat Ryan (NY), Brad Schneier (IL), Kim Schrier (WA), Darren Soto (FL), Ritchie Torres (NY), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL), and Frederica Wilson (FL).

 

There were four Republicans who voted with the majority of Democrats, however, including Reps. Ken Buck (CO), John Duarte (CA), Thomas Massie (KY), and Tom McClintock (CA). Read more, see Xs and video here.

Youngkin falls short in his mission to win total GOP control of Virginia state legislature

While he wasn't on the ballot, Gov. Glenn Youngkin became the face of Virginia's legislative elections and had plenty riding on the results

Democrats will retain control of the Virginia state Senate and flipped the state House of Delegates from Republicans, according to Associated Press projections, despite GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin's attempts to win total GOP control of the state legislature.

The AP projects at least 21 Democrats have been elected to the state Senate and 51 Democrats have been elected to the state House of Delegates. It's unclear how strong the Democratic majority will be in each chamber.

Virginia's legislative elections grabbed outsized national attention, with both Democrats and Republicans spending millions on the races, which were viewed in political circles as a key barometer ahead of the 2024 elections for president and control of Congress.

Republicans in Virgnia won elections for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general two years ago – their first statewide victories in a dozen years – and they flipped the House. The victories in a state that had trended blue over the previous decade energized Republicans nationwide. Read more and see video here.
