HuffPost
The former New York representative is making a comeback just three momths after being ousted from Congress.
Just three months after being expelled from Congress and after declaring he would not seek reelection, former Republican New York Rep. George Santos has decided that he will throw his hat back in the ring.
On Thursday night, Santos shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, announcing his plans to challenge Rep. Nicholas J. LaLota (R-N.Y.).
The announcement arrived while Santos was attending the State of the Union address in Washington, D.C.
“Tonight, I want to announce that I will be returning to the arena of politics and challenging Nick [LaLota] for the battle over #NY1,” Santos wrote. “I look forward to debating him on the issues and on his weak record as a Republican. The fight for our majority is imperative for the survival of the country.”
LaLota called for an investigation into Santos in December 2022 and his expulsion from Congress a year later.
