The Democratic Successor: Tom Suozzi's Return in Long Island

The race for New York's 3rd Congressional district is heating up with potential successors to the recently-ousted representative, George Santos. One of the top contenders, Mazi Melesa Pilip, is a registered Democrat despite having been elected as a Republican in the past. Another contender, Mike Sapraicone, has donated to a Democratic candidate and has a controversial past as an NYPD detective. These potential replacements come as the county's GOP faces scrutiny for failing to properly vet Santos. Meanwhile, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is set to challenge Rep. Jamaal Bowman in a Democratic primary, setting up a battle over the Israel-Hamas conflict in a heavily Jewish district.
