Santos's Controversial Actions and Apologies: A Political Rollercoaster

Indicted Rep. George Santos, a New York Republican, plans to run for reelection in 2024 even if he is expelled from Congress. Santos, who is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee and facing federal charges, downplayed the impact of fabricating parts of his life story on voters. Despite admitting to lying about his background, including his education and athletic achievements, Santos argued that his constituents didn't vote for him based on his biography. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and dismissed concerns about his past lies. Supporters of expulsion believe that House Republican holdouts will ultimately vote to expel Santos after the committee releases its report.
