Recently ousted from Congress, ex-Rep. George Santos suggested a potential comeback, envisioning a return post the passing of his former colleagues, citing the age difference.
In an interview with comedian Ziwe, Santos affirmed his intention to re-enter the political arena, expressing confidence in outliving his older peers.
Santos, facing a 23-count federal indictment earlier in the year, has pleaded not guilty and is exploring a plea deal to potentially mitigate legal consequences.
Despite his legal challenges, Santos has found financial success on Cameo, capitalizing on his post-expulsion fame.
The New York Republicans have already chosen a replacement for Santos—Mazi Melesa Pilip.
While Santos refrained from endorsing her, he took a swipe at Pilip for avoiding questions, emphasizing his contrasting approach during his tenure.
