The NY race to replace George Santos could be a test for the Republicans

NY race to replace George Santos may be test for Republicans looking to keep House in November. Both Republicans and Democrats are investing heavily into winning the Long Island Congressional district that was left empty when scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives.

New York Republicans nominate ex-Israeli soldier Mazi Melesa Pilip in the special election to succeed GOP Rep. George Santos. Pilip will succeed Santos in the state’s 3rd Congressional District in New York City's 3rd congressional district. The election will be a special election for Santos' seat.
