Mace and a handful of other Republicans could end up saving Omar's committee assignment considering Republicans' slim majority in the House, and what is expected to be all Democrats joining together to vote against the measure. 

McCarthy has maintained his hard line approach to removing Omar, despite the slim GOP opposition, and is also looking to remove Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., from their positions on the House Intelligence Committee.

The situation surrounding Omar's committee assignments stems from her past anti-Israel statements that have played on antisemitic tropes, such as when she said, "It's all about the Benjamins, baby" to explain why McCarthy criticized her for opposing the Jewish State. She also drew ire for a remark in which she compared the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban.

It's unclear when the vote on the resolution barring the committee assignments will take place.
