Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales face expulsion votes in the House over sexual misconduct allegations.
AI Summary
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) plans to force a vote to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) next week over sexual assault and misconduct allegations. Democrats are set to respond by moving to expel Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), who is being investigated by House Ethics over sexual misconduct allegations. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that a former staffer accused Swalwell of sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions, including a first instance in 2019. Gonzales admitted to an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. If these expulsion votes succeed, it could trigger a chain reaction involving votes against Reps. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) and Cory Mills (R-Fla.), though expulsion requires a two-thirds majority.
