- House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Wednesday declined to call for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to resign over fabrications about his resume and questions about his finances even as New York Republicans raised the pressure on the embattled freshman lawmaker.
- “I try to stick by the Constitution. The voters elected him to serve. If there is a concern, and he has to go through the Ethics, let him move through that,” McCarthy told reporters on Wednesday.
- “He will continue to serve,” McCarthy said of Santos.
