Democrat Tom Suozzi Wins in House Election to Fill Seat of George Santos

HeadlineFeb 14, 2024

Former New York Democratic Congressmember Tom Suozzi won a special election Tuesday to fill the open seat left by disgraced Republican Congressmember George Santos. Suozzi won nearly 54% of the vote, defeating Mazi Pilip, a Nassau County legislator who was born in Ethiopia and later served in the Israeli military. Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted Suozzi’s victory speech.

Protester 1: “You’re supporting genocide! Stop supporting genocide! Stop supporting genocide!”

Protester 2: “You support genocide! Ceasefire now!”

Tom Suozzi’s win leaves the Republican Party with a narrow 219-to-213 edge over Democrats in the House.
