Santos’ indictment includes serious allegations, including wire fraud, money laundering, making false statements to Congress, and theft of public funds.
But even with these charges, Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans are refusing to call on Santos to resign and are instead standing by him!
Republicans know if Santos resigns, Democrats could flip his seat. They know they NEED Santos to hold onto their majority.
In 2022, NewDems flipped more competitive seats from red-to-blue than any other ideological caucus. We flipped 5 seats from red-to-blue, elected 17 new Members of Congress, and defended 22 NewDems Frontline members.
