Democrat Tom Suozzi has won the New York special election to the U.S. House, according to an AP race call. Suozzi will serve out the remainder of the term for former GOP Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House last year.

    This is encouraging, although it should be noted that this is the guy who had the seat previously, but gave it up in an idiotic run for Governor. So everyone in the district knew him.

    One bright spot, though, is that his opponent intended to hammer him on the open borders bullshit, and he successfully managed to deflect it. The unofficial Trump policy of sabotaging the border and blaming Democrats for it might not have as much traction as he thinks. (But since Donald Trump is in control of the party and can never be wrong, Republicans can’t pivot away from it )
