Tiberius Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/special-election-george-santos-seat-pilip-suozzi-new-york-rcna138396 GREAT NECK, N.Y. — Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District might do more than replace disgraced GOP former Rep. George Santos in the House. It could also have implications beyond Long Island, from the House majority to November’s elections. Democratic former Rep. Tom Suozzi faces Republican Mazi Pilip, a Nassau County legislator and Ethiopian immigrant who served in the Israel Defense Forces. Suozzi entered the race with high name recognition — he represented the 3rd District before he made an unsuccessful run for governor in 2022. And while Suozzi and his Democratic allies have outspent Republicans on the airwaves, strategists in both parties expect a close race Tuesday.

Tiberius Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Democrat Jim Prokopiak was also projected to win a Tuesday special election for a state House seat in Pennsylvania, building his party’s narrow edge in a chamber that until recently was deadlocked 101-101. He beat Candace Cabanas after tying her to Trump and what he called “extremists” in the GOP, echoing national Democrats’ 2024 message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The anti-immigration supporters in this district are now being lauded by the Left. Typical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Better, then, to take a holistic view. That holistic view is that Democrats have clearly done well in most such races since 2022 — often even better than a 2020 election that they won. Daily Kos’s special election tracker shows Democrats have overperformed the 2020 presidential results by an average of five points across more than three dozen special congressional and state legislative elections since the 2022 midterms. They have beaten their 2016 margins by an average of nine points. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/13/new-york-special-election-santos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 A Democrat’s convincing victory in the race to replace disgraced former congressman George Santos continues a string of defeats for Republicans in special elections, in off-year elections, in the 2022 midterms and in abortion battles. Former Democratic congressman Tom Suozzi trounced county legislator Mazi Pilip (R) 53.9 percent to 46.1 percent. When a GOP-held district goes from plus-7.6 points (Santos’s margin of victory in 2022) to minus-7.8 points, it might be time for Republicans to take their weakness at the ballot box seriously. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/15/trump-weakness-2024-trials-republicans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
