In a highly anticipated special election, voters in Long Island will head to the polls this Tuesday to choose a replacement for former Congressman George Santos, who vacated his seat. With Republicans hoping to expand their narrow lead in the House of Representatives, the race between Republican Mazi Philip and Democrat Tom Suozzi has been closely watched.
During a recent debate, Philip and Suozzi engaged in a spirited discussion on the topic of border security. Philip accused his opponent of embracing extremism and claimed that Suozzi's opposition to a bipartisan solution would result in an open border and increased migration to New York. He also criticized Suozzi for endangering Israel by opposing current bipartisan funding for the country.
