Following the Republican loss in the special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District, former President Donald Trump criticized GOP candidate Mazi Pilip, attributing her defeat to her distancing from him and the MAGA movement. Trump described Pilip as a 'very foolish woman' and suggested she might still align with Democratic values, despite her Republican candidacy. He highlighted his own 'almost 99% Endorsement Success Rate in Primaries' and expressed disappointment over Pilip's approach to the election, which he believes went against the 'MODERN DAY politics' of leaning more towards MAGA to secure victories. The election was significant as it resulted in Democrats flipping the seat formerly held by George Santos. Trump also mentioned that 'MAGA, which is most of the Republican Party, stayed home' as a factor in the loss. Former congressman Peter King criticized Trump's comments about Pilip, stating 'It was just wrong'.
