House Democrats split over unusual reprimand of one of their own

The House, in a rare bipartisan action, voted Tuesday to rebuke a Democrat who maneuvered the timing of his retirement to all but assure his handpicked successor would win his seat without opposition.

The vote of formal disapproval of Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Illinois) was remarkable because it was instigated by a fellow Democrat, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington. All Republicans and 23 Democrats supported the measure.
