The House voted to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) over his role in pushing theories of Russian collusion in the 2016 election, marking a rare punishment that publicly condemns the California Democrat — possibly complicating his Senate bid in 2024.
The House voted 213-209 on Wednesday to censure Schiff, marking only the 25th time in the chamber’s history that a member has been formally condemned. However, the vote may only prove to help boost Schiff’s standing as he vies to replace the retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), with his campaign already using the censure for fundraising purposes.
