Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) has introduced a measure to censure Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) for misleading statements the freshman congressman made during his 2022 campaign.

The measure, via an expedited process, would force a floor vote on the matter, bypassing committee votes, but seems unlikely to pass in the Republican-controlled lower chamber.
