      'Expulsion' Only Answer, Progressives Say as Santos Ethics Probe Launched

      "Santos' constituents deserve real representation at home and in Washington, instead of a liar and a fraud with zero credibility," said Stand Up America's executive director.

      Following former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's launch of her 2024 presidential campaign Tuesday, progressives cautioned that while the Republican has spent years cultivating a so-called "moderate" public persona, her policy positions make it abundantly clear that as president, she would promote a right-wing agenda similar to the Trump administration, in which she served for nearly two years.

Though Roberts is now the managing partner of the Washington office of Macrae Inc., she and Kendal Price, the author of a letter obtained by the Times, worked as recruiters for the global firm Major, Lindsey & Africa.
