Expelled Republican Rep. George Santos has announced his intention to challenge incumbent Rep. Nick Lalota for his seat in New York’s First Congressional District, which encompasses most of Suffolk County on eastern Long Island, New York.
During President Joe Biden‘s State of the Union address on March 7, Santos shared his thoughts on the proceedings via X while at the U.S. Capitol for the speech.
He began, “Tonight, I came to the Sotu with an open mind and heart because I believe in the great idea that is the United States of America. I just witnessed a weak, frail president deliver spin and lies to the American people from inside the chambers.”
Santos was expelled from the House on December 1 and faced indictment last year on charges of campaign finance fraud and embezzlement. The expulsion came after a House ethics report revealed concerning findings, which led to a...

In an eruption of frustration, former President Donald Trump took to his social platform Truth Social on Tuesday night to express his frustration toward Republican candidate Mazi Pilip for her loss in the special election to replace the disgraced ex-Rep. George Santos (R-New York).
In his social media post, Trump labeled the Republican candidate for New York’s Third Congressional District as a “very foolish woman.”
He wrote, “Republicans just don’t learn, but maybe she was still a Democrat? I have an almost 99% Endorsement Success Rate in Primaries, and a very good number in the General Elections, as well, but just watched this very foolish woman, Mazi Melesa Pilip, running in a race where she didn’t endorse me and tried to ‘straddle the fence,’ when she would have easily Won if she understood anything about Modern Day politics in America.”

Last night on Long Island a relatively inoffensive, centrist establishment Democrat triumphed over the charismatic political newcomer in a swingy suburban district in a race that was dominated by a debate over immigration. Tom Suozzi’s victory in New York’s 3rd Congressional District over Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip is a balm for voters anxious about Joe Biden’s anemic approval ratings and his performance in head-to-heads polls against former President Donald Trump in a general election race poised to be a referendum on border policy.

It’s Valentine’s Day and love money is on Donald Trump’s mind.
The former president penned a “love letter” to his Valentine, his wife and former First Lady Melania Trump … in the form of a fundraising email to prospective donors.
“Dear Melania, I Love You!” it read. Even after every single Indictment, Arrest, and Witch Hunt, you never left my side. You’ve always supported me through everything. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth. You will always mean the world to me,...

Democrats flipped George Santos’ former congressional seat tonight, narrowing Republicans’ House majority in a special election that got an unusual amount of attention from national media.
Thomas Suozzi, who formerly held the seat, defeated Republican Mazi Pilip, the Associated Press projected.
Some cable news networks covered the special election as a bellwether for the November election. Republicans elevated the issue of immigration and the border as the top concern in the race, something that they are doing at the national level. The district covers Queens and Nassau counties.
News network coverage of the results as if it were another night of the presidential primary. CNN dispatched correspondents to local precincts and carried live the results of the counting from individual ballot machines. MSNBC also provided comprehensive coverage with Steve Kornacki’s voter breakdown, and Fox News’ Hannity featured a box telling viewers that they were monitoring the results.

New York’s third congressional district has elected a replacement for serial liar and indicted former Congressman George Santos.
Democrat Tom Suozzi won the New York race to succeed Santos, beating Republican Mazi Pilip, the Associated Press reported.
Santos, who was expelled from the House of Representatives in December, is one of several Republican departures in the lower chamber that shrunk the GOP’s already slim majority to only seven votes. Suozzi’s win narrows the GOP’s House majority. Santos gloated over Democrat Tom Suozzi winning the race to replace him in Congress,...

George Santos, the New York Republican elected to Congress in November, is facing more allegations of major discrepancies in his resume.
An article published by the New York Times previously revealed that his claims of his employment and education history couldn’t be substantiated.
This is Santos’ second run after losing to Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi in 2020. He brought Republicans to a narrow majority in the House after defeating Robert Zimmerman in a newly drawn district encompassing parts of Queens and Long Island.
Santos painted himself as a “seasoned Wall Street financier and investor” who worked for multiple firms including Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. Both companies told the Times they found no record of his employment. Both Baruch College and New York University, where Santos claimed to have attended, could not find records of him ever being a student.
The incoming representative is also under fire for allegedly lying about his philanthropic work.
