""New York City is the epicenter of capitalism in the world,""
""it will encourage other young democratic socialists of America""
""take over their city government legally by winning in the ballot box.""
""I'm the only one standing between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo, who I call Zohran lite.""
Curtis Sliwa, the Republican mayoral candidate in New York City, contrasts himself with Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. New York City is described as the epicenter of capitalism and a Mamdani victory could encourage young Democratic Socialists of America to take over city governments through ballot-box wins. Sliwa criticizes Mamdani's proposed policies and ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and blames crime increases on Cuomo-era laws that ended cash bail for some charges and raised the age of criminal responsibility. Mamdani won the Democratic primary but Cuomo remains on the ballot as a third-party candidate, creating concerns about splitting the anti-Mamdani vote. An Oct. 9 Quinnipiac poll showed Mamdani at 46%, Cuomo at 33%, and Sliwa at 15% after Mayor Eric Adams withdrew; President Trump has shown interest and criticized Sliwa.
