The Republican mayoral nominee abruptly quit his job at WABC-AM Radio during a blistering live interview on the station on Wednesday morning after the station's billionaire owner, John Catsimatidis, publicly called for Sliwa to drop out of the mayoral election two days ago. Speaking with right-wing commentator Sid Rosenberg on the Sid & Friends show on Wednesday, Sliwa complained that the station was giving favorable treatment to Cuomo and vowed never to return to work at the station, regardless of the outcome of the election.

John Catsimatidis called on Sliwa to quit the race, joining a last-minute effort by Andrew Cuomo and his supporters to clear the field for the former governor, who is running as an independent. The call touched off a disagreement between Sliwa and Catsimatidis over the Guardian Angel founder's job status, highlighting his estrangement from the city's donor class as Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds the lead in recent polls.
"I, unlike any of the candidates, have said Jews must protect themselves," Sliwa, the Republican candidate in New York City's mayor's race, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in a recent interview. "If you depend strictly on Gentiles, history is replete with instances where you're going to be horribly disappointed."
