Democrats have an opportunity to make Republicans sweat over Rep. George Santos after he was indicted for a host of alleged crimes
who voted against expulsion. That is politically explosive in and of itself. Moreover, Democrats will have documented a toxic vote for the GOP if Republicans stand with Santos and do not
Say the House votes to expel Santos. He becomes the sixth member expelled from the House in U.S. history and the first since 2002. Moreover, if Democrats were to win a hypothetical special election in Santos’s district, the breakdown would be 221 Republicans and 214 Democrats with 435 members. The magic number to pass a bill is still 218. However, McCarthy can still only lose three votes.
Additionally, the debt ceiling is looming. One Congressional source sardonically wondered if even Democrats need Santos to remain in Congress to approve some sort of bill to deal with the debt ceiling. Any vote on the debt ceiling will be tight. Ironically, it could serve the country better if Santos is present to help pull any legislation across the finish line and avoid default.
