The motion to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress failed on Wednesday evening, with 182 Republicans and 31 Democrats voting in favor of letting him stay and 24 House Republicans and 155 Democrats voting to get him out of there, according to The Washington Post. Fifteen Democrats and four Republicans voted "present."
Following the vote, Santos posted an image of himself wearing a gold crown to X (formerly Twitter), with the phrase "If you come for me, you best not miss" superimposed over it, along with the message, "Tonight was a victory for due process not me. This was never about me, and I’ll never let it become about me. We all have rights under this great Constitutional Republic and I’ll fight for our right to uphold them till my last dying breath."
