If Sliwa loves New York City as a lot as he says, it must be a foregone determination that he drop out of the mayoral race.
I’m sure he’s good enough to appreciate that he doesn’t have a probability of successful this race. However, by staying within the race, he’ll help Zohran Mamdani develop into the subsequent mayor.
Cuomo isn’t good, however we might be in a lot safer arms beneath his management than Mamdani’s.

Leave Sliwa alone, New York Post.
Cuomo doesn’t should be in public service after his fiascos such because the Buffalo Billion, nursing-home murders and cashless bail — plus giving New York Gov. Hochul.
At least if Mamdani wins, President Trump will nonetheless be in workplace to keep the clown in examine or put the town in receivership.

When Bill Clinton ran for president in 1992, many Republicans voted for Ross Perot. This allowed Clinton to win.
While I like and respect Sliwa and donated to his marketing campaign, I’ve to deal with actuality: If the vote is break up and Mamdani wins, it could be suicide for New York.
I’m not a fan of Cuomo, however he’s the lesser of two evils. Do the proper factor, Curtis.

The calls for Sliwa to drop out of the race, even from Republicans, are infuriating.
I wish to have a little stroll down reminiscence lane: Cuomo was the proud architect of no-cash bail, he was accountable for many seniors dropping their lives during COVID and his Parole Board appointees have launched cop killers.
Cuomo must be the one to drop out. He is simply Mamdani with a fancier resume.
