The replacement for George Santos, the disgraced Republican who was expelled from US Congress last year, is set to be decided on Tuesday, as New Yorkers head to the polls in what has become a closely watched election nationwide.
Voters in Long Island, east of New York City, face a choice between Tom Suozzi, a Democrat who previously spent six years in Congress, and Mazi Pilip, a relatively unknown local politician, in an election that will affect Republicans’ narrow majority in the House of Representatives.
