Johnson Signals Opposition To Expelling George Santos

“Here’s the reality, Sean. We have a four-seat majority in the House. It is possible that that number may be reduced even more in the coming weeks and months, and so we will have what may be the most razor-thin majority in the history of the Congress. We have no margin for error. And so George Santos is due due process. We have to allow due process to play itself out. That’s what our system of justice is for. If we’re going to expel people from Congress just because they’re accused, that’s a problem.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson. The House is expected to vote on expelling Santos on Wednesday, when a two-thirds majority will be required for the resolution to succeed.
