George Santos announced Thursday that he is making a return to politics. The former congressman appeared by surprise during Biden's State of the Union address and assured that he will run again for the House of Representatives, this time for the First Congressional District, a suburban seat in Suffolk, Long Island, currently represented by Republican Nick LaLota:

Santos expelled from the House two months ago

The decision is announced just months after the House decided to expel George Santos due to the more than 23 charges against him, which included fraud, money laundering and even the theft of donor identities, per CNN.
