I'm betting the Trumpublicans will support the 23 felony criminal. (After all, they love the 91 Count Crook)
House to vote on Santos expulsion resolution

Santos expulsion resolution expected on House floor
The House will reconvene with a jam-packed agenda one week after electing Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) as Speaker, including an expected vote Wednesday night on whether to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.).
Santos, the embattled freshman lawmaker, faces 23 federal charges from an initial indictment and superseding indictment. He’s pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Earlier this year, a majority of the chamber voted to refer a Democratic-led expulsion resolution against Santos to the House Ethics Committee instead of voting on the resolution. The Ethics Committee said this week it’ll announce its next steps by Nov. 17.
The current resolution was introduced by five fellow New York Republicans. The GOP only has a four-seat majority, meaning a vote to table or refer the matter could fail if held this time around.
Passing the resolution itself would require two-thirds support, meaning far more than a handful of Republicans would need to join Democrats to pass it.
