TL;DR Summary

House Democrats are divided over whether to block Speaker Kevin McCarthy's push to refer a resolution to expel George Santos to the House Ethics panel or force a full House vote on the matter. Some Democrats argue that a full House vote would force Republicans to go on the record protecting Santos, who faces 13 counts of federal charges. However, other Democrats, including some senior members, argue that forcing an expulsion vote could set a bad precedent. McCarthy's plan to move the matter to the ethics committee is gaining support from some of Santos' fiercest GOP critics.
