Democratic former Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi will face the winner of the Republican primary in the race to replace Cameo star George Santos on February 13, 2024, CBS News’s Scott MacFarlane reports citing the announcement by New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday.
Suozzi, who left Congress to unsuccessfully run against Hochul in the 2022 primary, was picked by the governor (after he made amends for shit-talking her during the campaign) due to New York’s system which allows her to bypass the primary and crown the nominee. The race, of course rated as a toss-up by the horserace circlejerkers, is expected to be pretty freaking expensive.
