Several high-profile House Democrats are poised to be removed from their coveted committee assignments as Republicans take control of the lower chamber and usher in a new era of priorities, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) confirmed on Monday.
McCarthy has long vowed to remove some Democrats from their top positions in retaliation for the removal of some Republicans from their committee assignments in the last Congress, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who was stripped of all her committees in 2021. As part of his plans, the Republican leader has specifically targeted Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Eric Swalwell (D-CA).
