Donald Trump has hit out at New York Republican candidate Mazi Pilip, branding her a “very foolish woman” for not appealing to his MAGA brand – after she lost the race for George Santos’s former seat to Democrat Tom Suozzi.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi will return to Congress to replace Republican George Santos, whose 11 months representing New York’s third congressional district was marked by numerous ethics scandals and ended with his expulsion in December. Suozzi’s victory helps Democrats chip away at an already narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., urged Democrats to go on offense on the border and immigration in a memo Wednesday to party members, citing New York Democrat Tom Suozzi’s victory in the special election for former GOP Rep. George Santos' seat in the Long Island-based 3rd Congressional District.
It was the kind of race the party had no excuse to lose — and in the end, the Democrat won with relative comfort.
Donald Trump looks set to learn the outcome of his New York civil fraud trial before the end of this week, with Judge Arthur Engoron being tipped to deliver a verdict on Friday as to whether the former president and his Trump Organization associates routinely inflated the value of company assets to secure favourable terms from lenders.
Tom Suozzi has delivered a crucial House seat back into the Democrat column after defeating Republican Mazi Pilip in Tuesday’s special election to replace George Santos in New York’s 3rd district.
