Republican Candidate Curtis Sliwa Asks Trump to Stay Out of NYC Mayoral Race – Newsmax
New York City GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa is asking President Donald Trump not to intervene in the race, advising him to instead focus on national matters and arguing that his involvement will benefit the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani.
“I would just say to the president, spend your time where it’s needed more, on geopolitical interests that affect all Americans,” Sliwa said in an interview on Fox 5, reports The Washington Examiner on Saturday. “This election in New York City does not affect all Americans.”
“In this situation, it doesn’t help if he intervenes in New York City,” said Sliwa. “Every day [that] it’s Trump versus Zohran Mamdani, it’s a good day for Zohran Mamdani. Every day that Cuomo and Adams talk about ‘You drop out, you drop out,’ it’s a good day for Zohran Mamdani. I talk [about] the issues.”
