Rep. George Santos survives vote to expel him from Congress
"WASHINGTON — Rep. George Santos, the embattled New York Republican who admitted to lying about his background and has been indicted on federal fraud charges, easily survived a bipartisan effort to expel him from the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
The expulsion resolution, which was led by his fellow New York Republicans and says Santos is “not fit to serve,” needed support from a supermajority, or at least two-thirds of the voting lawmakers, to pass.
The final tally did not even crest the simple majority threshold: 179 voted in favor of expulsion, 213 against and 19 voting present. Thirty one Democrats voted with 182 Republicans against expulsion, while 24 Republicans voted with 155 Democrats to remove Santos."
