"Storm Threatens Voter Turnout as Suozzi and Pilip Battle for George Santos' Seat"

On the last day of early voting for the special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District, GOP candidate Mazi Pilip and Democratic candidate Tom Suozzi campaigned amid concerns of a snowstorm affecting voter turnout on election day. Polls suggest a close race, with Suozzi leading Pilip by a small margin. The candidates urged supporters to vote early to avoid the weather. Suozzi criticized Pilip for her reticence and accused her of being like the ousted former Rep. George Santos. The race is seen as a bellwether for New York politics, with both candidates vying to position themselves as centrists while casting their opponent as an extremist.
