In the upcoming special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District, GOP candidate Mazi Pilip has been making headlines. She indicated on Fox News her support for a $95 billion foreign aid package currently under Senate consideration. The election has revealed the significant influence of the Nassau County Republican machine behind Pilip's campaign, highlighting the GOP's efforts to regain a foothold in Long Island. Amidst the campaign, Pilip has faced criticism for her shifting stance on migrants; having previously advocated for New York to 'absorb' migrants to provide them a better life, she has recently launched attack ads targeting migrants. Additionally, Pilip responded to criticisms from Democratic candidate Tom Suozzi, who questioned her vetting and clarity on positions, by asserting her thorough vetting during a Fox News interview.
