Tom Suozzi was sworn into the House of Representatives on Wednesday, marking a significant moment for the Democratic Party as they gain a seat. The swearing-in ceremony, conducted by Speaker Johnson, took place around 7 p.m. today, bringing the total number of House members to 432, with 219 Republicans, 213 Democrats, and 3 vacancies remaining. Suozzi's return to Congress follows his victory in a special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District on Long Island, a seat previously held by a Republican, thus flipping it back to the Democrats. This event has been met with enthusiasm from Democratic colleagues, emphasizing Suozzi's bipartisan record and advocacy for constituents.

House to swear-in Dem Rep-elect Suozzi today who won special election on Long Island
Elections should be civil... I recently saw my democratic primary challenger out campaigning and I took time to visit with him and applaud his efforts to win the election. We don't have to be enemies. The seat doesn't belong to me... it belongs to the constituents of House… https://t.co/jqdN3Hy6LA
