Democrats Win New York Special Election in US House... 6-Seat Gap with Republicans Maintained
The U.S. Democratic Party narrowed the seat gap with the Republican Party to six seats by winning the New York State House special election on the 12th (local time).
According to foreign media including the AP News, Democratic candidate and former Congressman Tom Suozzi won the special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District, defeating Republican candidate Marzi Philip. This special election was held after Republican George Santos was expelled from the federal House of Representatives in December last year due to a fake academic background controversy.
With Suozzi's victory, the Democrats added one seat in the House, securing a total of 213 seats. Therefore, the seat difference with the Republicans (219 seats) narrowed to six seats.
Former Congressman Suozzi had previously served three consecutive terms in this district starting from 2016.
