"Political Drama: Santos Leaves GOP, Senate Passes $1.2 Trillion Funding Package"
George Santos, a deposed congressman facing federal indictments, has announced that he will run for Congress as an independent, distancing himself from the Republican Party due to their support for a spending deal he opposes. Santos had previously filed as a Republican to challenge Rep. Nick LaLota in the primary for New York’s 1st District but is now running independently, touting his "Ultra MAGA/Trump supporting values" for the November election.
