IDF veteran turned NY GOP pick to replace George Santos vows to take on 'Squad,' slams Suozzi as fake moderate

New York Republican congressional candidate Mazi Melesa Pilip detailed her platform on combating antisemitism, immigration, abortion and fighting "extremist policies."

Winning her first political campaign in 2021, flipping a county legislative seat from blue to red while pregnant with identical twins, Pilip is up against Suozzi, whose lengthy Long Island political career affords him name recognition and fundraising advantages after previously representing the same district six years.  Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"You know what, Suozzi? Suozzi, a great politician. He's absolutely a talker," Pilip told Fox News Digital. "He is playing a game of ‘I am a moderate.’ He's not."
