This isn’t an endorsement. None is necessary. Even a third grader can see what’s at stake in New York City’s mayoral election. This is now a two-candidate race between Zohran Mamdani (D) and Andrew Cuomo. The opportunity is now. The urgency is real.
Curtis Sliwa (R) is probably a decent candidate anywhere else. But this is New York. He’s a Republican in a Democratic stronghold, and he doesn’t enjoy the support of President Trump — meaning his narrow pathway is closed. Sliwa means well, but he can’t win.
So we are left with a stark choice, and the stakes could not be higher.
New York is about to hand the keys to City Hall to a man whose greatest skill is manipulating algorithms. Mamdani has built a digital propaganda machine that would make any authoritarian proud. He runs on viral moments and manufactured outrage, not results. That might work for influencers, but it’s a recipe for disaster when you’re running a city of over 8 million people.
