"High-Stakes Battle: The Fight to Replace George Santos on Long Island"

The special election in New York to replace expelled GOP Rep. Santos has become a test for Democrats in swing districts, with border security dominating the race between former Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi and Nassau County Republican Mazi Pilip. Both candidates and outside groups have spent over $20 million on ads and get out the vote operations, with immigration politics taking center stage. The outcome of this election could have implications for the 2024 fight for the White House and the House, as both candidates and their supporters have highlighted border security as a leading issue.
