Curtis Sliwa, a Republican mayoral candidate, believes President Trump's involvement in the New York City election would enhance the chances of Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani. Sliwa has a complex relationship with Trump and has not spoken to him about the election. He asserts that Trump's focus should be on national issues rather than local elections. Sliwa argues that Trump's backing would create a narrative centered on Trump versus Mamdani, playing in favor of Mamdani. Other candidates in the race include Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Sliwa wants Trump to stay out of the New York mayoral election, stating it would only benefit Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani. He believes Trump's involvement would detract from local issues.
Sliwa stated that if Trump backs any candidate, it will create a narrative of Trump against Mamdani, which Sliwa believes would favor Mamdani's campaign.
