Suozzi Wins, Trump Loses.

Gee, what a surprise! A congressional district in metro New York holds a special election and sends a member of the Democrat(ic) Party back to D.C.

Of course, it helped that the election was held to fill the seat vacated by George Santos, who may have been the weirdest and craziest person who ever served in the House. But this time around, the GOP dug up a black woman who is also Jewish and was a military veteran, in other words, she had just about every credential that someone could have, and she still couldn’t pull off a win for the red team.

And she didn’t just lose this race — she got clobbered! The early returns show that the winner, Tom Suozzi, may end up with close to 60% of the vote, which is more or less the same margin he got when he won the seat back in 2020 and then stepped down to tun for Governor in 2022.

But this year’s election was different because the major issue was that nonsense the GOP has been pushing about the so-called ‘invasion’ on the Southern border, which may work in an all-white state like Montana, but simply won’t fly in a state like New York.

Or better said, that not-so-disguised appeal to racism being pandered by the GOP won’t work in an urban/suburban district unless every voter who isn’t a white male over the age of 50 stays home.
