"Jewish Activists Rally Behind Mazi Pilip as Potential Replacement for Expelled George Santos"

Jewish activists are urging the Republican Party to nominate Nassau County legislator Mazi Pilip, a former Israeli paratrooper, to run for the Congressional seat left vacant by expelled ex-Rep. George Santos. Pilip has garnered strong support in the Jewish community and attended fundraisers with prominent party donors. While Pilip is a registered Democrat, Republicans believe Jewish voters disillusioned with left-wing Democrats' support of the Palestinian cause could vote for their candidate. The Democratic Party has already nominated former Congressman Tom Suozzi, a strong supporter of Israel, for the special election. The GOP nominee is yet to be announced, with other potential candidates being considered.
