A Republican-led effort to oust Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from Congress failed Wednesday, allowing the embattled GOP lawmaker to remain in the House despite mounting legal and political troubles.
The chamber voted 179-213-19 on a resolution to oust Santos from office, far short of the two-thirds threshold needed to expel a member of Congress. Twenty-four Republicans voted to expel Santos while 31 Democrats voted to keep him in place. Nineteen lawmakers voted present, 15 of them Democrats.
Exactly.
They know it’s an easy w in 2024 against Santos. Less of a w if it’s a Republican without the baggage
To be fair, republicans accumulate baggage faster than a budget airline’s lost luggage desk.
