Three Minnesota’s U.S. House members voted “no” on the measure to expel scandal-ridden U.S. Rep. George Santos, R-New York. Republican Rep. Pete Stauber joined Minnesota Democratic U.S. Reps. Angie Craig, Betty McCollum and Ilhan Omar in voting “yes” to expel. House Speaker Mike Johnson voted down the resolution to expel Santos. Emmer, who is in House leadership as majority whip, joined leadership with his vote. Expulsion opponents said they were concerned about voting Santos out because he had not been convicted of a crime.
