Democrat Suozzi wins special election to replace Santos in New York
WGBH ^ | February 13, 2024 | Deirdre Walsh

Democrat Tom Suozzi has won the New York special election to the U.S. House, according to an AP race call. Suozzi will serve out the remainder of the term for former GOP Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House last year.

The victory further narrows the already razor-thin majority for Republicans in the House. The race was seen as a test of Democrats' ability to overcome attacks over President Biden's handling of the U.S. border with Mexico and convince voters that Republicans are unable to legislate in Washington.

Immigration politics have dominated the contest in a congressional district that sits thousands of miles from the U.S. border with Mexico. The race was between Suozzi, who served three terms in the House, and Nassau County Republican county legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip.

One after the other since 2018. This is getting old. Something needs to change. Maybe the RNC change will help.

Finally maybe the rat in sheep’s clothing at the RNC will be fired.

Right. A corrupt Republican was exchanged for a corrupt Democrat.

Yet more evidence of why today’s GOP is called the Stupid Party.

It’s OK. Now the Democrats will force Sen. Menendez out to hold up their end of the deal.

Chalk that up to a GOP unforced error.

The election was not even close.

Intentional. They followed one bad candidate up with another. They will intentionally lose the House this year just in case Trump is allowed to win.

Santos most likely would have been primaried out.
