NY-03: Santos: 'McCarthy's comments do not change my intention of running' [View all]

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) said on Monday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) comments saying he shouldn’t run for reelection wouldn’t deter him from seeking a second bid.

“Dear Media, I plan on continuing to serve the people of NY3. Providing excellent constituent services to the people of NY03 and proposing common sense conservative legislation for the betterment of our nation. Speaker McCarthy’s comments do not change my intention of running,” Santos said in a tweet.

McCarthy was asked during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” whether he was part of Santos’s reelection campaign.
“No, I am not. No he shouldn’t run for reelection,” he said.

“We’re going to keep that seat with another Republican, yes we are,” he added later.
