Santos predicts replacement will be Democrat or ‘a Democrat in Republican skin’

Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) said in a post online that his replacement in New York’s 3rd Congressional District will either be a Democrat or a “Democrat in republican skin.”

“America which ever way it goes you will get a Democrat or a Democrat in republican skin coming to Congress from NY-03,” Santos posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Santos was removed in a historic vote last week, ending his 11-month tenure in Congress and making him the sixth lawmaker ever to be ousted from the House.
