The special election to fill the remainder of former Rep. George Santos' term was being seen as a bellwether for both parties in November.
CBS News projects that former Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi will defeat Republican Nassau County legislator Mazi Pilip in Tuesday's special election to finish the term of former GOP Rep. George Santos, who has been indicted on charges including credit card fraud and aggravated identity theft, and was expelled from Congress in December. With 87% of precincts reporting, Suozzi was winning the race for the 3rd Congressional District seat by a margin of 54% to 45%.
His education and work history had been 'embellished,' he admitted. And among other falsehoods, he had told voters he was 'Jew-ish' and that his grandparents had fled the Holocaust, which turned out to be untrue.He was also accused of federal crimes. Federal prosecutors eventually charged him with 23 counts of fraud, conspiracy and aggravated identity theft. Santos has pleaded not guilty.
