Expelled former Rep. George Santos made a surprising return to Congress on Thursday night to witness President Biden’s State of the Union address. Santos, who was kicked out of the House late last year with bipartisan support, expressed that it was his first time back in the Capitol since his expulsion. Despite his removal from office, Santos still retains certain privileges, including entry to the House floor when in session, due to his former membership.
Speaking to reporters, Santos mentioned that he came to watch the primetime address and described his interactions with colleagues as “very bipartisan.” He acknowledged that being back in the building felt different but did not rule out the possibility of returning in the future. Additionally, Santos did not dismiss the idea of running for office again, despite facing pending federal indictments.
While Santos was met with mixed reactions, with some criticizing his presence, others showed support. Rep.

Torres stated that Santos was disgracing the House floor with his presence.
