Donald Trump's involvement in the New York mayoral race may benefit anti-Zohran Mamdani factions if he effectively removes Curtis Sliwa from the Republican ballot. Trump recently discussed the race with Andrew Cuomo, expressing interest in understanding the chances of various candidates against Mamdani, who disrupts the city's elite. Polls suggest Cuomo could still be competitive as an independent. Meanwhile, Eric Adams suffers from poor approval ratings, and Sliwa's past performance offers little promise for improvement in the upcoming election.
Trump's intervention in New York's mayoral race may assist anti-Zohran Mamdani forces, dependent on whether he has a solid plan to remove Curtis Sliwa from the ballot.
As reported, Trump has spoken to Cuomo and asked about potential opponents for Mamdani, indicating uncertainty about how to impact the mayoral race.
Polling suggests Cuomo still holds a chance as an independent candidate, despite his low chances of winning against a Democratic Socialist like Mamdani.
Mayor Eric Adams is unpopular with low approval ratings, and Sliwa’s previous performance indicates he may not significantly enhance his electoral support.
