10 Democrats vote to censure Al Green

The House voted 224-198 on Thursday to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, for disrupting President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress Tuesday night.

Ten Democrats joined Republicans in the rebuke, and two members, including Green, voted present. Democrats had attempted on Wednesday to block the censure measure but failed. The vote comes as the already-fractured party grapples with how best to voice their opposition to the president and Republicans' policies while outnumbered in both chambers of Congress.
