The House is set to vote on whether to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from her position on the prestigious Foreign Affairs Committee, setting up a high-profile showdown between Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Democrats.

Lawmakers voted on Wednesday to move forward with the resolution seeking to oust Omar from her committee assignment, even before the Minnesota Democrat was named to the panel by Democratic leaders. Shortly after the House approved Democratic assignments for the committee, McCarthy announced a vote would be held on Thursday, with the speaker expressing confidence he has the votes to boot her from the panel.

ILHAN OMAR ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING BOOTED FROM POWERFUL POST AFTER VOTE

“We’ll have enough votes even though there’s some members who are out,” McCarthy told reporters, referring to some GOP members who will be absent from the floor on Thursday due to family circumstances.

McCarthy has long vowed to remove Omar from her position on the committee, citing her anti-Israel positions and accusations that she is antisemitic. However, the vote has been continually delayed as Republicans sought to flip some key GOP holdouts who expressed opposition to Omar’s removal.

At least three Republicans initially said they would vote against stripping Omar of her assignment on the Foreign Affairs Committee, including Reps. Ken Buck (CO), Victoria Spartz (IN), and Nancy Mace (SC). As of Wednesday, all three confirmed they flipped their votes after making deals with McCarthy.

“What I told [Buck], and I had this conversation with [Spartz] too, we want due process. That we would work on the process. I don’t know exactly what it’s like,” McCarthy said. “I actually want to work with the Democrats on it too because I think it’s healthy for the institution.”

To be stripped of her assignments, the House must pass a full resolution supporting her removal. Republicans hold a 222-213 majority in the House, meaning they can only afford to lose four votes to pass the resolution without any Democrats.

The House is scheduled to meet at 9:30 a.m. for legislative business on Thursday with votes expected to begin around 12:15 p.m.
