"Long Island's Political Turmoil: Voters Divided and Democrats Concerned"

Long Island voters are split on who should replace indicted and expelled Republican George Santos in a special election, with Republican Mazi Pilip and Democrat Tom Suozzi vying for the seat. The race reflects a divided district, with voters concerned about crime, immigration, and border security. While Suozzi has a narrow edge in polls, Pilip leads on addressing the migrant influx. Both candidates face challenges in addressing voters' top issues, and the election is seen as a reflection of the national political environment in a 2024 battleground.
