NEW YORK -- Democrat Tom Suozzi was sworn in Wednesday to replace former Congressman George Santos, representing Long Island and Queens' 3rd congressional district.
Suozzi's victory in the recent special election cuts into House Republicans' already slim majority.
Democrats now have 16 seats in New York, with Republicans holding 10. However, with the newly drawn congressional maps, Democratic officials believe the maps will yield 18 safe seats for their party, six for the Republicans and two toss-ups.
Trump ally and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani got a tongue lashing Thursday in federal court after missing a deadline to turn over valuables to two election workers he defamed, including one asset, a vintage Mercedes, that he took for a drive to vote in Florida. He owes the women, Ruby Freeman and daughter Wandrea Moss, millions in damages.
