Lying former Long Island Rep. George Santos announced Tuesday he was ending his independent bid to unseat Suffolk County congressman Nick LaLota — after failing to raise any money for his campaign in the first three months of this year
Santos, 35, said on X that he did not want to draw votes away from the Republican LaLota and be “responsible” for handing control of the House of Representatives to Democrats in 2025.
“I don’t want my run to be portrayed as reprisal against Nick Lalota [sic],” Santos wrote. “Although Nick and I don’t have the same voting record and I remain critical of his abysmal record, I don’t want to split the ticket.”
The future holds countless possibilities and I am ready willing and able to step up to the plate and go fight for my country at any time,” Santos concluded, adding: “It’s only goodbye for now, I’ll be back.”
