As was said once before – George Santos, we hardly knew ye.
Santos, the disgraced former U.S. congressman who was expelled from the House of Representatives in December, has – unsurprisingly – ended his long shot, third party bid in New York’s first Congressional district, where he was challenging incumbent Rep. Nick LaLota (R-Rocky Point) and looking at a three-way race between himself, LaLota, and whoever the Democratic candidate will be. That primary is between former CNN anchor John Avlon and Stony Brook professor Nancy Goroff, who lost in a race to Lee Zeldin for the seat back in 2020.
Santos explained on X that while there is no love lost between him and LaLota, he doesn’t want to split the vote and potentially hand the seat to a Democrat.
