00:00 The Democratic Party of President Joe Biden won Tuesday night a seat in the House of Representatives
00:05 in Washington, replacing in a New York circumscription a Republican expelled from Congress for "serious
00:10 lies."
00:11 With this victory of Democrat centrist Tom Sciosci against Republican Mazzi Pilip, according
00:16 to CNN and NBC television projections, Democrats are even more beginning the very tiny majority
00:22 of the Republican Party of Donald Trump in the House, so far 219 Republican seats against
00:27 212 Democrats and 4 vacant seats, 9 months from the presidential and legislative elections
00:32 to partially renew the Senate and the House.
00:35 In this New York circumscription, which includes part of the Queens and Nassau counties
00:40 on the Long Island Peninsula, Tom Sciosci, who was already the representative from 2016
00:45 to 2022, will replace Republican George Santos until the next November scrutiny.
00:50 "Thank God," the winner has exclaimed since his campaign fever in the suburbs while
00:55 pro-Palestinian demonstrators shouting "genocide" briefly occupied the tribune.
00:58 "Stupid shot."
01:00 The 61-year-old, experienced politician, rejoices in having won despite a campaign
01:06 of "stupid shot" and "lies" especially on the migratory crisis that has been destabilizing
01:10 New York for nearly two years.
01:12 Eric Adams, the Democratic mayor at the head of the 8.5 million-strong megapolis, who has
01:17 welcomed more than 165,000 migrants and asylum seekers from Latin America and
01:22 West Africa, has greeted good news for New York.
01:26 Mrs. Phillips said she conceded her victory by calling on her competitor to congratulate him.
01:30 Mr. Sciosci may have benefited from a low participation on Tuesday because of a
01:35 snowstorm that paralyzed the city and its conglomeration and after many voters,
01:40 including Democrats, had already voted in recent days.
01:42 Replicating the presidential campaign themes that are announced between Mr. Trump and
01:48 Mrs. Biden, Mrs. Phillips and Mr. Sciosci argued about immigration and abortion.
01:52 Mazie Phillips has a unique, Jewish-Orthodox background, mother of seven children, she was
01:57 born in Ethiopia in 1978 or 1979, before emigrating to Israel in 1991, to serve in
02:05 the armed forces of the Hebrew state and then emigrate to the United States and to acquire
02:08 nationality.
02:09 If the election had a national resonance, it also lasted after the historic expulsion
02:14 of the House of Representatives from the Republican election coming out of this New York
02:19 circumscription, George Santos.
02:20 The 30th was illustrated by his repeated lies and was charged with financial crimes,
02:26 before being dismissed by Congress on December 1.
02:29 A hundred Republicans and more than 200 Democrats had voted to overthrow them, such a sanction
02:34 having only been used five times in the history of Congress.
02:37 Following the revelation of the New York Times, George Santos had to admit lying on
02:42 the shelves of his life to embezzle his resume.
02:44 He had never actually worked for the American Goldman Sachs or Citigroup banks, nor had
02:50 a New York University diploma, NYU.
02:52 He was also accused of swindling donors as well as of laundering and fraud, chief of
02:58 accusations for which he called non-culpable.
