Former Representative George Santos, disgraced and expelled from Congress last December amid federal criminal charges, announced his departure from the Republican Party, citing its continuous lies and manipulation of its voter base as his reasons. He declared his intention to run as an Independent in New York's 1st Congressional District against the current GOP Representative, Nick LaLota, following "today's embarrassing showing." Santos criticized the Republican Party for its embarrassing actions and stated that he could not in good conscience affiliate himself with a party that, in his view, stands for nothing and falls for everything. Santos aims to return to Congress through this independent bid.
