Nassau County Republican leaders will ask Rep. George Santos to resign Wednesday for fabricating his biography to win his congressional seat, three people with knowledge of the plans told POLITICO.
“He will be reprimanded for running like a complete liar in an effort to resurrect the image of the party,” said a person familiar with the pending announcement from Nassau County GOP Chairman Joe Cairo and other Republican elected officials, speaking on condition of anonymity.
That person told POLITICO in an interview that the announcement is necessary to help Republicans win future elections in New York’s 3rd congressional district, which is a swing seat previously held by Democrat Tom Suozzi.
