Looks like a blowout so far with 52% reporting, if that margin holds it will be impressive considering Santos’ narrow win in the last one.
Good
Incredible result – and this’ll make the lives of House Republicans even worse by slimming their majority even further (not that they need our help, they’re doing a perfectly shambolic job governing by themselves).
The fun thing is there’s more Republicans like Santos (and like Pilip) in Biden-won New York seats. They’ve gotta feel scared, yeah?

This is why you fucking VOTE. You sit home November then you are voting for Putin and Trump. You vote third party you are voting for Putin and Trump. Get it done folks. If you can vote by mail do it. In my state you can vote early. Just vote blue and THEN get everyone you know to vote and vote blue.
Nasau County is the 2nd most conservative in New York. If these margins hold, this is a humiliating defeat for the GOP.

excellent
“but long island is turning red!”
Who would’ve guessed complaining about the supposed migrant crisis and then proceeding to sabotage any attempt to fix it would’ve backfired?
We volunteered for the race at /r/votedem!!
Woo hoo!
Speaker Johnson’s tenuous hold onto the gavel is getting more and more precarious.
It’s like having a lying sack of shit and the party that backed him irritated people or something.
NY Times headline tomorrow: Dems in disarray and why this is bad for Biden in 2024/s
Santos hurt the Republican brand in Long Island. He had the aura of a used car salesman and R’s thereafter will smell like used tires.
Purge the Trumplicans.
I have a friend from New York who was bemoaning this election, fully expecting to lose. I can’t wait to celebrate this with him. And at this point it looks like a *sizable* defeat. Excellent news for America.
Good luck, Suozzi. He’s got some pretty big shoes to fill.
Congratulations to George Santos for keeping his House seat! And scoring the winning touchdown in the latest Super Bowl!
Cue the crying about election fraud.
Stefanik has become a cartoon villain. The Harvard pedigree has run its course. The dumbest, least thoughtful, most arrogant asshat I know holds a Harvard SM,…
I am that asshat.
Guys – if everyone remembers to vote in November, the GOP party as we know it will be CRUCIFIED. Make it happen.
Young people:
Do not buy into the “both sides suck” BS. One side is evil. You have to make a stand against evil. Vote out Trump first, then you can push for the changes you want.
Please turn out.
Did you see Politico’s headline wording it “Tom Suozzi edges out GOP…” Like seriously, edges out? It’s like a 10 point lead! The corporate media these days. smh
Edit: They just changed the headline to something less ridiculous.
lol, I was told it was going to be a toss up.
Santos won this seat in 2022 by 7.6%.
If the current lead holds with 73% vote in, Souzzi would have a 10.4% margin victory.
That is a shift of 18% in just under 2 years. This is inline with almost all the other special elections since Dobbs decision.
Republicans are fucked if we keep voting. So let’s keep voting.
Another special election that goes to Dems! This is a good sign to how things will play out in Nov!
So guess the Republican program of trying to blame the border on Democrats didn’t work here, was the main talking point they had.
First preview of the presidential election perhaps?
Media is selling is some bullshit.
“Muh migrant crisis” (the same fucking thing they’ve been repeating every election cycle for my entire life)
This was “up in the air” according to all the pollsters. Ignore their bullshit and vote.
Can’t wait for the NY Times to tell me how this is bad for Biden.
See guys… your vote does matter!

I voted tonight! Glad our district turned back blue. George Santos was a disgrace. You may think NYC is super blue, but there are some red areas that voted for Trump in the Queens suburbs. Let’s hope this is part of a trend to stay blue
Taylor Swift and the Dark Lord strike again!
Okay, good.
Now flip a few more.
But but but the NYT keeps saying Biden is gonna lose by 80 points
Loss after loss after loss. Republicans got to fuck around for 4 years. Now they get to find out while their party burns down around them.
Hope it was worth it, chumps.
This has to be the answer to the “both sides” nonsense. We vote and then hold them responsible for their action or inaction once in office. No one should stay home in November, even if you’re just choosing the lesser of two evils, I want the least evil possible.
GOP also lost a special election in the PA state house tonight, in a very toss-up location.
Are the Republicans going to loose the house even before the general election?
266 days till November 5th. Please vote. You guys are scaring us.
Oh, wow, I was under the impression this would be a much closer race? It’s so encouraging to see a blowout.
Can’t wait to read all about “how this is bad for Biden” tomorrow!
KEEP VOTING. KEEP VOTING. DO NOT STOP.
Make it your mission to multiply your vote by 3, by getting 3 others close to you to VOTE.
