Tiger Beat on the Potomac (AKA Politico, thanks Charlie Pierce!) has the bookies on speed dial:
House GOP appears to have the votes to expel Santos
An internal POLITICO whip count found nearly 90 House Republicans say they plan or are likely to support voting to boot the New York Republican.
Nearly 90 House Republicans say they plan or are likely to support voting to expel George Santos from Congress. That means it’s a near-certainty the indicted lawmaker will be out this week.
A POLITICO internal whip count has found that more than 75 House Republicans say they plan to vote for Santos’ expulsion, while a dozen say they are likely to support his removal. If all Democrats vote to boot him, as expected, then lawmakers will reach the two-thirds vote threshold required to remove the New York Republican from the House.
Nothing fun ever lasts, and we won’t have the likes of Kitara Ravache to kick around again.
