Top conservatives Catsimatidis, Rosenberg want Sliwa out of NYC mayoral race to stop Mamdani
John Catsimatidis and Sid Rosenberg, two of New York’s most influential conservative voices, urged Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa to drop out of the race for City Hall on Monday, reasoning it’s necessary for him to do so to help defeat progressive front-runner Zohran Mamdani.
Catsimatidis, a billionaire businessman and major Republican donor who owns the 77 WABC radio network, made his plea for Sliwa to end his campaign during an appearance on “Sid & Friends in the Morning,” Rosenberg’s talk show on 77 WABC.
“Curtis has to realize that he should love New York more than anything else. It certainly looks like Curtis should pull out right now,” Catsimatidis said. “[Sliwa] could win the next election because people will be proud of him for doing the right thing for New York City, instead of the wrong thing.”
“We cannot take a chance on Zohran winning and every commonsense New Yorker feels the same way.”
