There are currently 11 Republicans in the New York congressional delegation. That number, somehow, still includes Rep. George Santos, first indicted five months ago on 13 charges, including fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds. This week, federal prosecutors released a superseding indictment with another 10 charges against Santos, including allegedly stealing donors’ identities and making charges on their credit cards.
They clearly know that any association with Santos makes them that much more vulnerable to being bumped off in 2024. Whether or not the resolution succeeds, supporting a declaration that Santos is unfit for office somewhat inoculates these representatives against the taint of association with him in their re-election bids. But Santos is benefiting from the extremely narrow majority that Republicans hold in the House.
