Democrat Tom Suozzi's victory in a special election in New York's Third Congressional District has narrowed the Republican majority in the House. Suozzi defeated Republican Mazi Pilip by nearly 4 percentage points, flipping the seat previously held by George Santos. The win leaves the GOP with a slim margin for defections on votes. The victory is seen as a positive sign for Democrats' prospects in the upcoming November elections, with some viewing it as a potential immigration strategy blueprint. House Speaker Mike Johnson downplayed the impact of Suozzi's win, attributing it to heavy Democratic funding and claiming Suozzi borrowed campaign rhetoric from Republicans.
