Rep. Claudia Tenney's (R-NY) resolution to lower White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's salary failed.

The House voted 257-165-1 against Tenney's resolution Thursday, and 54 Republicans voted against it.

“During Ms. Jean-Pierre’s tenure as press secretary, she has repeatedly lied to the American people and acted in a condescending manner towards reporters and also violated the Hatch Act,” Tenney said on the House floor ahead of the vote.

The Hatch Act prohibits employees of the executive branch from promoting or discouraging political activity. According to Tenney, Jean-Pierre has spoken disparagingly of "MAGA Republicans."

Tenney went on to summarize her floor speech in a post to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

"White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre has said: Illegal Immigration is down 90% under the Biden Admin. Nobody is 'just walking in' across the Southern Border. The 2016 Election was stolen," Tenney wrote. "It is time her salary is reduced to $1 for her LIES to the American people."

Jean-Pierre's salary stands at $180,000, slightly ahead of the typical House member at $174,000.

This comes after the House successfully passed a bill to reduce Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's salary over his job performance amid an influx of immigrants coming through the southern border. Tenney was among the Republicans who proposed the idea. It is unlikely to pass the Senate, as the chamber is controlled by a Democratic majority.

In Mayorkas's case, the Holman rule was used. It allows Congress to slash the salaries of government officials.
