Trump-district Democrat warns party 'in trouble' ahead of 2026 midterms
Fox News
Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York discussed winning in a district that supported President Donald Trump in 2024 and what lessons it holds for the 2026 midterm elections.
Suozzi is well-known in his suburban Long Island district, having been a longtime local official before first coming to Congress in 2017. He did not run for re-election in 2022 but later won a special election to replace expelled former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., and has remained ever since. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
During that time, he forged a reputation as a moderate Democrat willing to find bipartisan consensus on issues like government waste and border security – themes he wished his party would take the lead on. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
