U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, a self-proclaimed centrist Democrat who was re-elected Tuesday night despite sweeping wins for Republicans, has called for his party to stop entertaining far-left ideas. This included denouncing support for trans athletes to play in women’s sports.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Suozzi said Democrats need to “stop pandering to the far left” and that the national party’s issue is winning over moderate and independent voters.
