Democrats help save GOP Rep. Cory Mills’ committee seats

House Democrats joined Republicans on Wednesday to defeat a measure that would have removed Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) from the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees.

The motion, forced by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-La.), passed 310 to 103 to refer the measure to the House Ethics Committee, which announced an investigation into Mills over allegations of domestic abuse, stolen valor, and financial misconduct—all denied by Mills.

106 Democrats voted with 204 Republicans to block the censure, while 95 Democrats and 8 Republicans voted to advance it to a full House vote.

Prominent Democrats voting to protect Mills included Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley, Axios has reported.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.), indicted the same day for allegedly misusing FEMA funds, did not vote.
