"Race to Replace George Santos: Democrats' Last-Minute Ad Buy and Asian American Voter Influence"

Democrats are making a last-minute $1.25 million ad buy in the race to replace George Santos, with concerns about next week’s special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District. The ad blitz aims to boost Democratic former Rep. Tom Suozzi against Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip, comparing Pilip to Santos and addressing issues like border security and abortion rights. Both parties are heavily investing in the race, with Democrats hoping to reverse recent declines on Long Island and Republicans seeking to test the potency of their messages on immigration and crime.
