Donald Trump‘s top two presidential rivals lambasted the former president after Democrat Tom Suozzi defeated Republican challenger Mazi Pilip in a high-profile special election Tuesday night, while Trump sought to distance himself from Pilip’s loss.

Voters in New York’s 3rd Congressional District chose Suozzi to replace disgraced former Rep. George Santos after the Republican was ousted from Congress last year. The seat was seen as a prime pickup opportunity for Democrats as Republicans maintain a slim majority in the House.
