The House GOP defeated Democrats’ attempt to block a public reprimand of Rep. Adam Schiff, clearing the way for Republicans to censure the California Democrat Wednesday evening.

The measure would formally censure Schiff for his leading role in probes concerning former President Donald Trump and direct the House Ethics Committee to investigate his actions.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the sponsor of the resolution, and other conservatives tried to advance a similar censure measure last week, but 20 Republicans — objecting to language that could have resulted in a $16 million fine for Schiff — joined most Democrats to sink it before it came up for a full House vote. Luna removed that provision to allay their concerns.

The House seldomly censures its members, last voting to do so in 2021, when the Democratic majority reprimanded Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) for posting an anime video on social media that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and attacking President Joe Biden.
