Santos Faces Uphill Battle to Avoid Expulsion Vote as Support Erodes Over Ethics Issues
• House speaker Johnson says he won't whip Republican votes on Santos expulsion, meaning no pressure from leadership
• Santos defiantly says "I don't care" when asked about expulsion vote, insists he won't resign
• This will be the third expulsion vote against Santos; previous two failed to get needed support
• Sentiment has shifted more against Santos after damning ethics committee report on campaign finance violations
• Question is whether Republican leaders will bring expulsion resolution to a vote and if it will get the needed two-thirds majority to pass
