Growing GOP Support for Expelling Rep. Santos as Johnson Expresses Reservations

TL;DR Summary
Speaker Mike Johnson expresses reservations about expelling Rep. George Santos from the House, as GOP support grows for his ousting following a scathing report from the House Ethics Committee. Some Republicans argue for expulsion based on the findings, while others raise concerns about due process since Santos has not been convicted in a court of law. Expulsion would require a two-thirds majority vote and would make Santos the first member to be ousted without a conviction or support for the confederacy. The House will vote on the expulsion resolution on Friday, but it remains uncertain if there will be enough votes to remove Santos.
