Santos made the announcement after attending the State of the Union and mingling with ex-colleagues who voted to kick him out of Congress following a blistering report by the House Ethics Committee.
Former Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House of Representatives in December and faces federal charges of defrauding donors to his 2022 campaign, announced on social media that he is running for Congress again.Santos, a Republican who is just the sixth member to be ousted by fellow House members, posted Thursday night on X that he will challenge Republican Rep.
LaLota, a leader of the effort to expel Santos, said, “I suspect that this primary challenge from Santos is retaliation for that, but we’re taking it seriously.” “The people have no appetite for this bad comedy show to continue,” said Suffolk County GOP chair Jesse Garcia. “His candidacy and whatever petitions he might file will have the same level of credibility as the degree he claimed to have received from Baruch College.”
