"The simple fact is that the Republican nominee is far back in third place in every poll, with zero chance of winning. It continued: Polls show Andrew Cuomo in spitting distance of Mamdani if Sliwa quits the race; if Curtis stays in and Andrew loses by a Sliwa-shaped hole, then he will be blamed. Plenty of readers will erupt in fury at us, and we get it: No one will confuse this page, or The Post as a whole, for Cuomo fans."
"After praising Sliwa for having worked hard on the campaign trail and dinging him for being an oddball, with a sometimes shady past, the influential conservative newspaper concluded that Mamdani is poised to win and do major, deadly damage to the lives of all New Yorkers: He must be stopped. It stinks, but for the sake of the city you love so deeply, Curtis, please swallow this bitter pill."
An influential conservative newspaper urged Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa to withdraw from the mayoral race, arguing polls show him stuck in third with no plausible path to victory. Polling data suggested that if Sliwa quit, Andrew Cuomo would draw close to Zohran Mamdani, while Sliwa's continued presence could create a Sliwa-shaped hole enabling Mamdani to win and blame to fall on Cuomo. The call acknowledged Sliwa's hard campaigning and eccentric past but framed withdrawal as necessary to prevent Mamdani from securing power and inflicting serious harm on New Yorkers. John Catsimatidis also encouraged Sliwa to step aside for the city's sake.
