"Democratic lawmaker pushes for expulsion vote on Rep. George Santos as GOP seeks to hold onto seat"

A Democratic lawmaker is pushing for a vote this week to expel Republican Rep. George Santos from the House of Representatives after an ethics report found that Santos had stolen from his campaign and deceived donors. The expulsion would require support from at least two-thirds of House members voting, and Rep. Robert Garcia expects to easily reach that number. Santos has rejected calls to step down before the expulsion vote and has survived two prior expulsion votes. The Ethics Committee's report concluded that Santos had fraudulently exploited his candidacy for personal financial gain.
