George Santos Ends His Independent Congressional Campaign
Former Republican Representative George Santos announced on Tuesday that he is withdrawing his independent Congressional bid.
Santos announced he was bowing out of the race for New York’s 1st congressional district, representing eastern Long Island, because he did not want to “split the ticket and be responsible for handing the house to Dems.”
“I have decided to withdraw from my independent run for #NY1…” Santos wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I don’t want my run to be portrayed as reprisal against Nick Lalota… Although Nick and I don’t have the same voting record and I remain critical of his abysmal record, I don’t want to split the ticket and be responsible for handing the house to Dems…”
Announcement!
