For some reason, Republicans did vote to expel him. I'm surprised.

Less than half of the Republicans voted to expel him. About 114 Republicans voted no. All but 4 Democrats voted to expel him (2 voted present, 2 voted against).

The majority of Republicans did not vote to expel him.

Okay, that's less surprising. But still, enough did.
