The New York City mayoral race is shaping up to be a disaster, and it's time for Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa to face reality. If he doesn't quit the race now, he'll inadvertently clear the way for avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani to take the reins, bringing with him a trail of destruction that will ravage the city.
It's not about Sliwa's personal fault; it's about the fact that New York is in desperate straits. The city's best hope to avoid this catastrophe is for Sliwa to drop out and allow a more viable candidate, like Andrew Cuomo, to take center stage. If he stays in the race, and Cuomo loses by a landslide, Sliwa will be left holding the bag – and so will the people of New York.
The polling numbers are stark: Mamdani is a distant second, with Sliwa trailing behind in third place. The Republican nominee's chances are zero, making it essential for him to exit the race before it's too late. If he doesn't, the consequences will be dire, and the city's residents will suffer the brunt of his disastrous policies.
Sliwa has done some good in this campaign, getting briefed on the issues and crisscrossing the city every day. However, his sometimes-shady past and lack of relevant experience make him an oddball candidate who can't be trusted to run a behemoth like city government.
The New York Post is calling for Sliwa's exit because he's a liability in this critical election. If Republicans had come up with a more credible candidate, they would likely be demanding that Cuomo drop out already. But the fact remains that Mamdani poses an existential threat to the lives of all New Yorkers – and he must be stopped.
It's not an easy pill for Sliwa to swallow, but for the sake of the city, it's time for him to admit reality. If the Republican Party wants to be a viable alternative to the Democrats, they need to do better than this. And if that means dropping out of the mayoral race and allowing a more capable candidate to take the stage, then so be it. The people of New York deserve nothing less.

. I mean, he's done some good things, but his shady past 
and lack of experience are major red flags 
. Zohran Mamdani might be a wild card, but at least Cuomo has some semblance of normalcy in his background 
. If Sliwa stays in the race, he's gonna end up with egg on his face 
, and who knows what kind of damage that'll do to the city? I think it's time for him to step down and let a more viable candidate take the reins 
.
. I mean, if he doesn't drop out now, Zohran Mamdani is gonna win for sure and it'll be a total disaster 
. The city needs someone with some real experience to run the place, not just some radio personality 
. Sliwa's done some good things, I guess, but his past is pretty shady and he doesn't have the chops to lead the city 
. The polling numbers are crazy, with Mamdani leading way out in front 
. It's time for Sliwa to face reality and step aside, even if it's hard for him to swallow 
. The city needs a winner, not some long shot candidate who'll probably tank the economy 
. Fingers crossed Cuomo stays in the race 
.
. But at the end of the day, he just can't compete with Zohran Mamdani's socialist vibes 
. And Sliwa just doesn't have that credibility factor going for him.
. It's time to face reality, Curtis – you're not gonna win this thing 
.
. I mean, Zohran Mamdani is like a ticking time bomb over there 
, and if Sliwa doesn't get out now, he'll be stuck with the blame 
. The city needs someone who can actually lead, you know? Cuomo's the only one who seems viable right now 
. I think it's time for him to step down and save himself (and the city) from a potential disaster 
. Cuomo's the real MVP here – he's got experience, he's got money... he's got everything that Sliwa can only dream of 
, not just wave their arms and pretend like everything is gonna be okay 
, Sliwa can't just drop out because he's not good enough? that's not how democracy works... the problem is Cuomo is still in there and has way more experience than Sliwa or Mamdani... Sliwa might be a bit of a wild card, but at least he's been out on the streets listening to the people... Mamdani just sounds like some radical who wants to ruin the city 
. This city is in shambles and Mamdani's gonna make it worse 
. But hey, at least Curtis gets to be the comedic relief in this mess 
. Cuomo's still got this one, but only just 
. Time for Sliwa to exit stage left 
, it's time for him to admit reality 
.
so let's all just hope for the best & keep our fingers crossed for a better future NYC 
. Andrew Cuomo would've been a way better candidate imo, and now the city is stuck with this socialist disaster waiting to happen 
.
