Senator McCarthy's crusade ultimately ended when other senators decided his accusations were wrong and unfair. This culminated in the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, where his aggressive tactics and unfounded accusations against the U.S. Army were publicly scrutinized. The hearings led to a loss of public support for McCarthy and, in December 1954, the Senate voted to censure him for his conduct, effectively ending his influence and power.
