"Pennsylvania House Democrats Move to Expel Rep. Kevin Boyle Over Arrest Warrant"
House Majority Leader Matt Bradford introduced a resolution to create a new process for expulsion based on a member’s incapacity to fulfill duties, in response to State Rep. Kevin Boyle's criminal charges and reported mental health condition. The potential expulsion could temporarily endanger the Democratic party’s narrow majority in the House. Boyle, facing a warrant for his arrest, remains on the primary ballot, with his Democratic challenger backed by party leaders. The proposed resolution would change House operating rules to create a new expulsion process, and if Boyle were expelled, House Democrats would not have the 102 votes needed to pass bills along party lines.
