Former U.S. Rep. George Santos has announced he is running for Congress again. Santos posted Thursday night on X that he will challenge fellow Republican Rep. Nick LaLota.
WASHINGTON — Former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from Congress in December and faces federal charges of defrauding donors to his 2022 campaign, has announced he is running for the House again.
Santos made the announcement after attending President Joe Biden's State of the Union address and mingling with former colleagues who voted to kick him out of Congress following a blistering report by the House Ethics Committee. “Tonight, I want to announce that I will be returning to the arena of politics and challenging Nick for the battle over #NY1,” Santos posted.
LaLota, a leader of the effort to expel Santos, responded on X, “If finishing the job requires beating him in a primary, count me in.”
