"For example, the NY Times’s Nate Cohn telling us today, 'Democrats claim another victory, although it doesn’t necessarily add more clarity about November.'
"If the Republican had won, we would’ve seen non-stop corporate media stories for days declaring 2024 was going to be 'Red Wave,' 'Democrats are facing a bloodbath in November,' a 'Red tsunami is on the way,' and other BS they peddled in the lead up to the 2022 midterm.
But with Suozzi—who[m] I’ve known since our days at law school--defeating his opponent in a district that Republican Santos had won by nearly eight points, we instead see articles downplaying it."
"A measure of the significance Tom Suozzi’s victory in NY 3rd’s congressional district is how forcefully pundits and Republicans tried to explain away the victory. The day began with Nate Cohn of the NYTimes tweeting that 'even a decent Democratic win might be quite misleading' if it suggests positive news for Biden in November."

The word "shameless" was invented for NY Times talking heads.

Because of course the House GOP would make Suozzi wait two weeks. And let me guess, he can't use the two week recess to get his office set up. #suozzi #ny3 #ny03 #uspolitics
> Incoming Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi is expected to be sworn back into the House on Feb. 28, according to a GOP leadership aide.
> That will officially cut the GOP's majority down to just two votes, after Suozzi defeated Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip in the special election for a Long Island congressional district. It was previously held by expelled GOP Rep. George Santos.

Well, they thought so. Wouldn't be so sure after #Suozzi handed the mooks their arses yesterday...

More of this, please. Suozzi (D) wins, 54 to 46%.

"On Monday, CNN ran an article on the upcoming election in NY 3rd congressional district entitled, New York Democrats are worried about Tuesday’s special election. They have good reason to be.
The CNN article included the sub-headline 'Democrats on the brink, and Republicans on the rise,' and predicted that the election would serve as a litmus test for Democratic prospects in November."

Suozzi won by 8 points.

"The attempt of a Republican minority to impose its will on the majority of Americans appears to be sparking a backlash. In today’s election in New York’s Third Congressional District to replace indicted serial liar George Santos, a loyal Trump Republican, voters chose Democrat Tom Suozzi by about 8 points."

#Ersatzwahl in #NY3 für »George #Santos« ist vorläufig fertig ausgezählt. #Suozzi (Dem) 7.7 Prozentpunkte vorn. #Wahlbeteiligung grob die Hälfte einer #Präsidentenwahl. (New York hat ein #Mehrparteiensystem, wo die relevanten 2 Kandidaten üblicherweise von mehreren Parteien aufgestellt werden.)
After this resounding Democratic win in NY-03 tonight, I wonder if a few New York members of the House of Representatives may be rethinking their approach to the funding bill for Ukraine, et al that was passed by the Senate today.
Evidently, only 218 votes are needed to bypass Speaker Johnson, and allow the bill to come to a vote in the House. If allowed to vote on the bill, it will surely pass.
PASS THE DAMN BILL.

#Republican's razor-thin majority in the #House just became even slimmer. CNN has projected that #Democrat Tom #Suozzi will win the special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District.
Suozzi was fighting Nassau County legislator Mazi #Pilip, who was running as a Republican, to win former #GOP Rep. George Santos’ seat. #Santos was expelled from the House in December over several ethics violations.

#Suozzi wins #NewYork #SpecialElection, replacing #GeorgeSantos
The Democrat prevailed in a race that centered heavily on immigration
Democrat Tom Suozzi wins in the NY-03 special election that was Santos’ House seat! #suozzi #ny #houserace #specialelection #santos #georgesantos #tomsuozzi #longisland #queens #ny03
If #NY03 is any indication, #Republicans are not going to keep the #House in November
#Democratic Party leaders, being the dummies they are, probably still haven't learned from the #NY03 election results that the so-called "#migrant crisis" is a loser for #Republicans. #Suozzi
Former Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi is heading back to Congress after winning the special election in New York’s 3rd District to replace former GOP Rep. George Santos, NBC News projects.
"Suozzi’s victory Tuesday over Republican Mazi Pilip cuts Republicans’ already razor-thin House majority by one seat, making legislating even more difficult moving forward."

The victory by Tom Suozzi, an ex-congressman, offers his party a potential path in November as it contests suburban swing districts like this one.
