Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa said he is not leaving the race — even as some GOP pressure to drop his bid mounts.
“The billionaires will not pick the next mayor. The people will," he said.
Influential donor and billionaire John Catsimatidis called on Sliwa to find the exit door.
“We cannot take a chance on Zohran winning," Catsimatidis said during an interview on "Sid & Friends in the Morning" Monday.
Sliwa had these comments for his former WABC radio boss: “The billionaires can conspire to pick their candidate. They failed with Cuomo the first time, they ran over to Eric Adams and now they're running back to Andrew Cuomo. I trust the people. They’ll make their decision. I’m not dropping out.”
Just hours later, the conservative New York Post editorial board also made the same plea.
