Tom Suozzi is running to get his old seat back….
(House Republicans had George Santos kicked out from the seat….)
It looks like he’ll succeed….
The election is four days away as I post this with Suozzi up by 4% points….
The thin Republican House majority lead is going to shrink….
The two candidates running to replace expelled former Rep. George Santos in New York are neck-and-neck in the final week of the race, according to a Newsday/Siena College poll released Thursday.
Former Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi, who formerly held the seat, had 48 percent support among likely voters compared to 44 percent for Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip, a Nassau County legislator. About 7 percent of voters were undecided in the bellwether race set for Tuesday.
The result is within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
The two candidates were picked by local parties in New York City and Long Island to replace Santos, who became the sixth person to ever be expelled from the House in December after lawmakers successfully voted him out. Santos, a Republican, faces a 23-count federal indictment for fraud and campaign finance violations and has pleaded not guilty…..

I hate to make it seem like I am doing PR for Trump today, since I obviously loathe him immensely, but it is interesting that this same poll shows Trump is ahead of Biden in this district by 5 points. It is a district Biden won by 9 last time.
We can surmise there are a lot of Trump/Suozzi voters.
I am sure that has nothing to do with Suozzi’s opponent being a foreign born, black Jewish woman.

CG says
You are wasting your time today even thinking about this. This is pretty irrelevant after what dropped in the last hour.
Mayorkas will be impeached next week in the House and Biden might too now.
