House Democrats are expected to vote on a motion to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as early as this week.
According to CQ Roll Call correspondent Chris Marquette, 72 Democrats have signed on to the motion that will be introduced by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA).
Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram reported that the motion could be voted on as early as Friday.
Expelling Greene would require support from two-thirds of Congress, making the effort unlikely to succeed.
Earlier this year, Democrats voted to strip Greene of her committee assignments for spreading violent rhetoric and conspiracy theories.
Rep. Jimmy Gomez plans to introduce a resolution to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress tomorrow. It has 72 Democratic cosponsors and no Republican support. Greene has already been stripped of her committee assignments.

2) But Fox is told don't expect the resolution to come up tomorrow or right away.
A two-thirds supermajority is needed to expel a member from the House.
