Embattled Rep.-elect George Santos appeared to receive the cold shoulder from some of his GOP colleagues throughout the House speaker race.
Rep.-elect George Santos sits by himself in the House chamber on the first day of the House speaker race.
Later that day, a group of GOP lawmakers from New York took a picture with Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy with the caption"New York is in the House!" in which Santos was noticeably absent. At one point on Wednesday as voting entered its second day, Twitter users circulated a photo of Santos appearing to hover in the background of a conversation between Rep.-elect Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and a group of GOP lawmakers.
Throughout day two of voting, Santos was noticeably absent on the House floor and out of view of cameras, exiting to the cloakroom and reappearing to cast his vote for McCarthy, according to multiple reports. At one point, Santos even missed casting his vote, appearing to mishear his named called twice during voting.
Rep.-elect George Santos has admitted to "embellishing" his resume during his successful run for New York's 3rd Congressional District.
