Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;New York City is the epicenter of capitalism in the world,&#8221; said Sliwa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And, he argues, if voters elect Mamdani, &#8220;it will encourage other young democratic socialists of America&#8221; to &#8220;take over their city government legally by winning in the ballot box.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the campaign, Sliwa has routinely criticized Mamdani&#8217;s proposed policies and association with the Democratic Socialists of America.<\/p>\n<p>Sliwa also had harsh words for Cuomo on Tuesday, blaming &#8220;horrific increases in crime&#8221; in the city on Cuomo&#8217;s policies as governor, including state laws that <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2022-midterm-elections-kathy-hochul-covid-health-business-2435ea9a2b89c0b92490241fe4009f97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ended cash bail<\/a> for some criminal charges and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/f8a3c0485d3f4c3bbf716e7ceb2653b3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">raised the age<\/a> of criminal responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Said Sliwa: &#8220;I&#8217;m the only one standing between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo, who I call Zohran lite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A Republican candidate hasn&#8217;t won a mayoral election in deep-blue New York City in 20 years. But in this year&#8217;s race, the GOP nominee could play an outsized role. Mamdani <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/zohran-mamdani-wins-democratic-nomination-nyc-mayor\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">defeated Cuomo in the Democratic primary<\/a><\/span>, but Cuomo <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/andrew-cuomo-nyc-mayoral-race-independent-sources\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">stayed in the race<\/a><\/span> on a third-party ticket. Since then, Cuomo and his allies have called on Sliwa to drop out, arguing that the two candidates are splitting the anti-Mamdani vote \u2014 a charge Sliwa has pushed back on.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Oct. 9 poll from Quinnipiac University<\/a>, Mamdani led with 46% support, followed by Cuomo with 33% and Sliwa with 15%.

Sliwa has also faced criticism from the president, who said in September, &#8220;Curtis is not exactly prime time,&#8221; <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/president-trump-curtis-sliwa-attack-nyc-mayoral-race\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">and poked fun<\/a><\/span> at Sliwa&#8217;s dozens of rescue cats. Mr. Trump has railed against Mamdani, too, calling him a &#8220;communist&#8221; and implying that federal funding to the city could be cut if he wins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t be generous to a communist,&#8221; the president said this week.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the president&#8217;s criticisms of him, Sliwa advised Mr. Trump \u2014 another native New Yorker \u2014 to stay focused on international crises, rather than New York City.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every time he gets involved in this mayoral election, he strengthens Zohran Mamdani,&#8221; said Sliwa. &#8220;They don&#8217;t want to campaign against me or Andrew Cuomo. They want to campaign against Donald Trump.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has taken aim at the city and New York state, accusing local leaders of failing to cooperate with Mr. Trump&#8217;s immigration agenda and of following diversity, equity and inclusion practices that the administration alleges are unconstitutional. The federal government <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/government-shutdown-new-york-infrastructure-funding-trump-schumer-jeffries\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">froze<\/a><\/span> $18 billion earmarked for two high-profile Manhattan tunnel projects, citing DEI, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kristi-noem-antiterrorism-funding-nyc-4d8d4e4605c982977cb75bada4aa5622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">attempted to revoke<\/a> millions in counterterrorism grants for the city&#8217;s subway system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the Trump-backed &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/whats-in-trump-big-beautiful-bill-senate-version\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">restricts<\/a><\/span> Medicaid and food stamps, which could hit locales throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>Sliwa warned, &#8220;There will be cuts,&#8221; but that he would try to &#8220;limit the negative impact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We just have to make sure they don&#8217;t hurt people who are desperately in need,&#8221; Sliwa said.<\/p>\n<p>This is Sliwa&#8217;s second consecutive campaign for mayor, but it follows decades in the public eye as an activist, a radio host and the founder of Guardian Angels anti-crime group. He&#8217;s known on the campaign trail for his trademark red beret, which has long symbolized his Guardian Angels roots \u2014 but he said he&#8217;s willing to put it aside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If that were the only reason not to elect me,&#8221; he said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll take the red beret, put it in storage, and I&#8217;ll never wear it again. But you gotta elect me mayor first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n
