New York Magazine : “Cuomo told donors at a Saturday fundraiser in the Hamptons that voters will look beyond Guardian Angels founder and perennial Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in search of a candidate better suited to challenge Mamdani.”
Said Cuomo: “We can minimize the Sliwa vote, because he’ll never be a serious candidate. And Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani. And you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa. So I feel good about that.”
