This Week in Politics: Voices from Santos' district

WNYC News | Jan 28, 2023

It's been less than a month since he was sworn into office. And it seems like every other day we hear another new revelation around Representative George Santos. But, all of his deceptions aside, one fact remains -- Santos is still representing constituents in the 3rd congressional district, covering parts of Long Island and Queens. And it appears he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

This is even as a new Siena College poll shows 59-percent of the state want Santos gone. And those sentiments seem to line up with what constituents have been saying about the embattled congressman. David Cruz, WNYC's People & Power editor joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to us to discuss.
