- 'Santos is toast': Lawmakers look to expel George Santos, again
- Date posted
- 1 day ago
- Description
- After two failed expulsion attempts, lawmakers finally seem ready to oust Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y) from Congress.
The vote would set a new precedent. The House has only expelled five members in history, three due to supporting the Confederacy during the Civil War. The other two were both convicted before their colleagues voted to boot them from Congress.
But enough House Republicans and Democrats have determined that the damning Ethics Committee report, which found “sufficient evidence” of criminal wrongdoing earlier this month, is enough to trigger his removal. And many Republicans are confident the vote will succeed.

- It's not easy being in the Green Party, or any third party for that matter, if you ask Jill Stein. Stein is a 2024 presidential candidate. She previously ran in 2012 and 2016. The biggest difference this time around, is that America is in a different 'political era,' Stein said. She's so confident a third party candidate deserves a seat at the Oval Office that she's even lifted up the campaigns of her competition.

- Why are 2024 candidates mimicking Instagram influencers?
- Date posted
- 13 days ago
- Description
- Donald Trump was the Twitter president.
Joe Biden is slinging Dark Brandon merch.
And now, candidates in the 2024 GOP field are adopting many of the same marketing tactics that voters are more used to seeing from social media influencers such as Jake Paul, Tinx, and Dave Portnoy.
Is this because American politics has hit a new bottom? Or is the pivot towards influencer marketing on the campaign trail a clever solution?
This election cycle candidates are struggling to fundraise and to penetrate the increasingly fragmented media ecosystem. Watch this video to see what POLITICO’s Alex Keeney finds as he explores whether emulating influencers is delivering results.
