"With two weeks until Election Day, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa have landed on unlikely common ground: rejecting billionaire influence in the New York City mayoral election. Two billionaires, Red Apple Media CEO John Catsimatidis and hedge fund CEO Bill Ackman, are calling on Sliwa to drop out of the mayoral race in order to clear a pathway to victory for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an Independent candidate."
"Catsimatidis, who is also the CEO of WABC Radio, publicly urged Sliwa to drop out of the race on Monday. Sliwa has long hosted a radio program on WABC but is on leave while he runs for mayor. "Curtis would make the best mayor of all the candidates ... but Curtis has to realize that he should love New York more than anything else," he said. "It certainly looks like Curtis should pull out right now.""
Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa both oppose billionaire attempts to shape the New York City mayoral contest. John Catsimatidis and Bill Ackman urged Sliwa to withdraw to clear a path for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an Independent. Sliwa refused, saying he trusts voters and will not drop out. Mamdani expressed surprise at sharing that stance with his Republican opponent. Catsimatidis owns WABC, where Sliwa has hosted a radio program and is on leave to run for mayor. A Fox News survey asking about second-choice preferences indicates Mamdani would keep a significant lead even if some candidates exit.
