MN-05: George Santos Floats Post-Prison Comeback

A disgraced MAGA congressman threatened to make a comeback to unseat a Democratic foe—in a different state.

George Santos, the 37-year-old former New York representative, floated the idea of running in 2028 to force Rep. Ilhan Omar out of her congressional seat in Minnesota.

“If Congress doesn’t move to remove illegitimate Rep @IlhanMN I’ll run again just to remove her from office in 2028,” he wrote in an X post on Tuesday.

“Think I can’t win? Try me, my life is an open book and I’ll take aim at any seat and primary someone out just to prove a point, the American people rather vote for someone who is open about their life and past and seeking truth than someone who is shady and full of secrets,” he added. “Remove @Ilhan NOW!”

He wouldn't have a chance (and Democrats would not be fooled by his running as one).

And in that district, the primary is the race.

Before anyone comes at me, I’ve lived in NYC and the upper Midwest (as well as CO and upstate NY). This is a whole other level of cold (or rather wind).

The only thing Santos will get in Minnesota is a free pillow from Mike Lindell — which he can use to cry in when his ass is kicked eight ways til Sunday….

Running against Omar would get headlines, and that would get campaign donations for him to pocket. It's not about winning.
