A POLITICO internal whip depend has observed that more than 75 Residence Republicans say they prepare to vote for Santos’ expulsion, even though a dozen say they are probably to assistance his removal. If all Democrats vote to boot him, as predicted, then lawmakers will access the two-thirds vote threshold expected to eliminate the New York Republican from the Residence.
