New York Democrats delay picking candidate for ex-Rep George Santos seat to eye options

(TNS) New York Democratic leaders have delayed announcing their candidate to vie for the empty congressional seat held by disgraced ex-Rep. George Santos until Thursday at least.

With George Santos out of Congress, special election to fill his seat is set for February

A special election to pick a successor to George Santos, the New York Republican who was expelled from the U.S. House last week, will be held on Feb. 13, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday. The race for a seat representing some Long Island suburbs and a small part of the New York City borough of Queens is expected to be a high-profile contest that will mark the start of a year of consequential congressional elections in the state. For Democrats, the election will be a test of the party's ability to flip districts around New York City that are seen as vital to their plans to retake control of the House.
