Democrat Tom Suozzi Wins Race to Succeed George Santos in Congress

QUEENS, N.Y.—Democrat Tom Suozzi won a special election Tuesday on Long Island, a signal that his party can withstand GOP attacks on immigration in swing districts far from the border. Suozzi defeated Republican Mazi Pilip, the Associated Press said, to reclaim his seat representing New York’s Third Congressional District. The campaigns and outside political-action committees have spent more than $20 million on ads and organizing, part of which centers on the record-setting number of illegal crossings at the border, which are a point of scrutiny for President Biden and down-ballot Democrats heading into November.
