The House of Representatives voted to kill a resolution to censure progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Wednesday night.
Nearly two dozen Republicans voted along with all House Democrats to table the resolution in a final vote of 222-186 in favor of killing the motion without debate.
Democrats briefly broke out into applause when the resolution failed.
Tlaib had been the target of a censure, a form a formal punishment in the House, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., over Tlaib's comments and actions related to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
A retaliatory resolution aimed at censuring Greene, introduced by Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt., was pulled from the schedule shortly before voting began.
