Controversial Rep. George Santos insisted Monday he’s running for reelection after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy laughed out loud at the suggestion he could win another term.
“Dear Media, I plan on continuing to serve the people of NY3,” Santos tweeted Monday, referring to his Long Island district. “Speaker McCarthy’s comments do not change my intention of running.”
Santos, who is facing a wide-ranging federal criminal indictment, spoke out a couple of hours after McCarthy chuckled at a question about whether he is backing the scandal-tarred lawmaker for reelection in 2024.
