My favorite reply to this tweet is "I don't believe him".

If he indeed resigns, I guess Hochul would be interested in calling a special election very fast? Democrats should play it save then and nominate Suozzi. Not my favorite guy, but the safest bet for a pickup and make a small Republican majority even thinner.

Yeah, it's clear that he seems either likely to resign or he knows the walls are closing in and he'll be ousted.

He’s too shameless to resign.

Looked up NY special elections and from what I'm gathering, Hochul has a relatively narrow window. She has to call the special election for "not less than 70 nor more than 80 days" from when the vacancy occured, so roughly two and a half months.

At this point I think Santos is going to try and do the absolute bare minimum. He might try for the record of most absent

If he does run for reelection, will he lose his primary by more than Liz Cheney did?

Huh, they must have changed the laws recently. I remember Chris Collins resigned from NY-27 on October 1, 2019 but the special election to replace him didn't happen until June 28, 2020 (and then it took another three weeks for the winner of the special to be sworn in).

The Initial Special Election for NY-27 was delayed due to COVID, but yes they did change it.  The rule is the Special Election must be called within 10 days of the vacancy and fall into a 70-80 day window once the Special Election is called.   There is some leeway if another Election is held around the same time

Unless he’s forced to, I don’t get why he’d resign. This is the last job he will ever have - why would he give it up early?

So apparently his lawyer is currently under home arrest for taking part in a gang execution. If he was a fictional character people would already be decrying him as being an unrealistic caricature.

You don't think a company would hire a 6'2'' former Navy SEAL who received the Pulitzer Prize?

My kid dragged me to see that musical 10 or so years ago and cried the entire drive home.

Of all the things I've read on this forum, this one might be the most genuinely upsetting.  (Seriously).

George Santos actually named Broadway, fun fact. He named it after the hit American TV show "Broad City", which he famously produced.

My brother in Christ how could you forget to mention the fact that all of this occurred after he invented the Television itself?

You are so right, how could I forget? He has so many accomplishments over his career, it's impossible to list them all.

To be fair I think he was only brought on as a consultant on the musical, which came with a producer credit.  The director and writers asked him for guidance on the plot given Santos' background as Spider-Man.

I'm even more convinced something is seriously wrong with him. Lying about producing a flop is extremely weird.
