'Should I leave the Republican party?' George Santos teases end to GOP affiliation

Expelled congressman George Santos asked his fans and followers if he should leave the Republican party, and most of them said yes.

Santos, who is also facing criminal charges from the DOJ, posted a poll on social media on Friday, simply asking, "Should I leave the Republican Party?" At the time of writing, the poll has four hours remaining and it stands with 67.6% people voting for his departure from the party. The poll shows 32.4% saying he should stay.
