“Will Curtis Sliwa have any regrets if he wakes up on November 5 and Zohran Mamdani is the new mayor of New York — knowing he could have stepped aside and cleared the crowded campaign field that many fear will split the vote? ‘Nope,’ the Republican candidate told me. So he’s not willing to sacrifice his candidacy to save the city he loves from socialism? ‘That’s based on the idea that everyone is going to go over and vote Cuomo. Ain’t happening. They hate Cuomo. I’m in the streets every day. All I hear is ‘slapping fannies and killing grannies.’ He’s never apologized,’ Sliwa said of Andrew Cuomo’s COVID and #MeToo scandals. Meanwhile, a new AARP poll shows Mamdani’s support at 42% among registered voters; Cuomo is at 23%, fellow independent Adams is at 9%, and Sliwa claims 16%.” (08/19/25)
