If he were to be expelled, Santos would be the first House member to be ousted without having been convicted or having supported the confederacy. Rep. Nick LaLota, a New York Republican who has called for Santos to be expelled, told CNN that he expects around 150 House Republicans will vote to expel. If LaLota’s prediction is correct, that would be enough to reach a two-thirds majority and expel Santos. Conservative GOP Rep. Ralph Norman told CNN that he is “absolutely not,” planning to vote to expel Santos. He added that he doesn’t believe they can get the votes to do expel Santos, despite some members insisting that they will.
