Summary

Former Congressman Tom Suozzi will return to the House after defeating Republican Mazi Pilip in a special election held in New York last week, flipping the seat to the Democrats. He will fill the vacancy left by the expulsion of Republican George Santos. Politico Reporter Olivia Beavers examines what parties can learn from last Tuesday's results and how Souzzi's win could impact the politics and policies coming out of Capitol Hill. No matter how hard you try to avoid them, you will be inundated with campaign and PAC ads every election cycle. Some get more attention than others. A $7 million ad for Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. created some buzz this week after it aired during last Sunday’s game. Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley's campaign placed a $4 million ad buy in South Carolina as she hopes to keep her campaign alive. But does all that money poured into ads pay off? FOX News Contributor and former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush Karl Rove discusses the efficacy of political advertising and explains the types of voters they're aimed toward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
