Things just got even uglier for George Santos
House Republican George Santos is out on bail awaiting trial on numerous criminal charges, and the Republican-controlled House Ethics Committee has recommended his expulsion. Could things get even worse for him? Well, this happened today:

HAHAHA: this 15 foot balloon of George Santos is currently sitting outside of Congress as Santos may be expelled this week. This is hilarious and it looks just like him! Santos must be removed from the House. His lies cannot be overlooked. pic.twitter.com/HZtTjSdKwn

But George Santos has far bigger problems. House Democrats just introduced a resolution to force a vote on the ethics committee recommendation to expel Santos. That vote could happen as soon as this week. It’s still not clear what the House Republican headcount is in favor of expulsion, but the number is growing.
At this rate Santos could be expelled before the week is over. We need to remain ready to gear up for a special election to replace him. Democratic candidate Anna Kaplan would have a slight edge in such a race, but we’d still need to put in the work to make sure she wins. So let’s stay ready.
