and OMGAWD, NO........George Santos is gonna run again....

Former GOP Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House last year, announced Thursday night that he’s running for Congress again — this time to challenge a Republican congressman in New York.

“Tonight, I want to announce that I will be returning to the arena of politics and challenging Nick for the battle over #NY1,” Santos wrote on X, referring to GOP Rep. Nick LaLota. “I look forward to debating him on the issues and on his weak record as a Republican. The fight for our majority is imperative for the survival of the country.”

The former congressman, who had represented New York’s 3rd District, made his announcement during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Thursday — during which he was spotted at the US Capitol.

George Santos is the gift that just keeps giving. The goofy, pathologically lying albatross that the RNC must bear. :-D I will have fun watching.

He's got as much a chance at winning a Congressional seat again as Madison Cawthorn.

Will NY voters elect him again? They have to be sicker of him than anyone.

good luck with that George! If I were you I'd be spending my time researching the law and working with my lawyers on how the hell i was going to avoid prison. But that's just me.

And I doubt many people, other than Jimmy Kimmel, are paying for his Cameo videos, and being in Congress was probably a pretty sweet gig.
