But Republicans aren't expected to vote on the resolution. Instead House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will hold a vote to refer the resolution to the House Ethics Committee, which has been conducting their own investigation into Santos. "I think we can look at this very quickly and come to a conclusion on what George Santos did and did not do through Ethics, a safe bipartisan committee, equal number of Republicans and Democrats, and I think that's when you bring it back to Congress if it rises to the ability," McCarthy said at a press conference Tuesday.
House Democratic leaders have instructed their members to vote no on referring the resolution to the House Ethics Committee. Garcia said his resolution to expel Santos is about putting Republicans on the record. "There hasn't been action, and so now's the appropriate time to make sure that Republicans are on record if they're going to actually stand by someone that is a serial liar and a fraud. And they're gonna have to record a vote, and the American people will be watching their votes," Garcia said Tuesday.
