Trump’s NYC mayoral race two cents: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Various experiences on President Trump’s hopes to kind out the New York City mayoral race.
I’ve to agree with President Trump; two of the candidates ought to drop out of the race for mayor of New York City (“Stop this guy or I will,” Sept. 5).
However, contradicting Trump’s thought, I imagine former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa ought to drop out and help Mayor Adams. If it’s Adams versus Zohran Mamdani, Adams will prevail based mostly on his accomplishments and supporters.

President Trump shouldn’t be doing New Yorkers any favors by suggesting the corrupt Andrew Cuomo must be mayor. As mayor, Cuomo, like Mamdani, can be each cop’s nightmare.
As New York’s governor, Cuomo made it identified that he has no love for law enforcement by calling ICE brokers “a bunch of thugs.” Locally, he tied the arms of police by eliminating certified immunity and by blessing radical adjustments to our legal system.
New Yorkers, take observe: Curtis Sliwa has let it’s identified that no one can buy him. It can be a breath of recent air to have somebody like that in workplace.

Curtis Sliwa has lastly come to the forefront. I don’t perceive why President Trump received’t endorse and encourage his candidacy for mayor of New York City.
Curtis has New York in his blood; he was born in Brooklyn and has protected this metropolis with fellow Guardian Angels for many years. We need safety, law enforcement, clean streets — shall I’m going on?
Trump and Sliwa have New York’s best curiosity at coronary heart. Trump originates from Queens and Sliwa from Brooklyn. They have the identical mindset: To get the job executed.

If elected, Andrew Cuomo will flip within the primary month to the Republican Party. He will comply with Adams’ instance, drink his Kool-Aid and settle for any help from Trump.

The end result of the mayoral race might be decided by a single New Yorker: President Trump. If he provides two of the three main Mamdani opponents high-profile federal jobs as an inducement to drop out of the race, then New York City has a probability of survival.

Since when does a president dictate who ought to run or not run for a political workplace, particularly in New York?
Trump is completely out of bounds on this one and based mostly on the Constitution, he has no business on this election. This is up to the people and —prefer it or not — their alternative is rock stable for socialist Mamdani.
Let’s be trustworthy for a second: None of the candidates are great decisions, however it’s what it’s.

President Trump has made a very grave error in threatening to throw his weight round concerning the New York City mayoral race.
I perceive his issues for town, as Zohran Mamdani can be a catastrophe if elected. However, Trump’s risk simply solidified the outline of dictator in opposition to himself, and that may push Trump-haters to vote for Mamdani out of spite.

I agree with Trump on points more than 90% of the time, however with regards to the pivotal New York City mayoral race, he’s means off.
I agree that Zohran Mamdani as mayor can be a catastrophe for town. But when it comes down to which candidate ought to contest him, Trump sees former Gov. Cuomo because the final man standing.
For a candidate who campaigned on being a “law and order” president, I discover it shocking that Trump wouldn’t choose Guardian Angels founder, Curtis Sliwa.

How absurd it’s that Trump acts as if New York’s former governor is the one viable various when he was so soundly overwhelmed within the major.
It’s laborious to think about Andrew Cuomo ever being seen because the lesser of two evils — even had been he to be in comparison with Satan.
