Rep. Jamaal Bowman will face a censure vote this week, after lawmakers voted down an attempt to kill the resolution.
The progressive New Yorker has faced a steady stream of criticism for pulling a fire alarm in a congressional office building in September. Republicans have accused him of trying to delay official proceedings, while Bowman has said that was not the case.
The Bowman censure measure was introduced as a privileged resolution by Michigan Republican Rep. Lisa McClain and is the latest in a disciplinary tit for tat that’s become an increasingly common way for lawmakers to score partisan points. A final vote is expected on Thursday.
