Good morning, CaptainK
Thanks again. You taught me so much. Here’s what President Trump has to say about this outcome:

Republicans just don’t learn, but maybe she was still a Democrat? I have an almost 99% Endorsement Success Rate in Primaries, and a very good number in the General Elections, as well, but just watched this very foolish woman, Mazi Melesa Pilip, running in a race where she didn’t endorse me and tried to “straddle the fence,” when she would have easily WON if she understood anything about MODERN DAY politics in America. MAGA, WHICH IS MOST OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, STAYED HOME - AND IT ALWAYS WILL, UNLESS IT IS TREATED WITH THE RESPECT THAT IT DESERVES. I STAYED OUT OF THE RACE, “I WANT TO BE LOVED!” GIVE US A REAL CANDIDATE IN THE DISTRICT FOR NOVEMBER. SUOZZI, I KNOW HIM WELL, CAN BE EASILY BEATEN!
While I'm upset about the loss I don't be see it as it as an indicator of Trump weakness. It makes sense that Suozzi recaptured his seat in a majority Democrat district.The Santos win was an aberration because he only won on the coattails of Lee Zeldin’s strong showing against Kathy Hochul in the Governor's race that year. It was a down ballot win that didn't exist in this special election.
And Trump is right....again.
