"Expelled Congressman George Santos Returns to Congress, Announces Re-Election Bid"

Expelled New York Congressman George Santos, who made a surprise appearance at the State of the Union, announced his re-election bid for Congress in 2024, challenging Representative Nick LaLota. Santos was ousted from Congress in December after an Ethics Committee report found substantial evidence of ethics violations, including misuse of campaign funds for personal expenses. Despite facing legal charges, Santos is in talks for a possible plea deal. He previously mocked his old party after they lost his seat in a special election, and has a history of controversial statements and actions.
