The Senate ultimately censured Senator Joseph McCarthy in December 1954 for his conduct, particularly for his aggressive and often reckless accusations against individuals and institutions, which undermined the Senate's dignity. This censure was a formal reprimand that marked a significant decline in his influence and power. Following this action, McCarthy's career never fully recovered, leading to his eventual political decline.
