"Rep. George Santos Defeats Expulsion Attempt in Congress"

Rep. George Santos, a Republican from New York, survived an attempt to expel him from the House as most Republicans and 31 Democrats voted against the resolution. Santos is currently facing criminal charges and is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. Supporters argued that he should be given due process and that expulsion should not occur before his case is resolved. The resolution failed to gain the required two-thirds vote, with 179 in favor of expulsion and 213 against. This marks a rare instance of the House not resorting to expulsion as a punishment.
