Curtis Sliwa | Candidate, Mayor of New York City | 09-05-25

Curtis Sliwa, Republican running for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to shut down rumors that he’s dropping out of the mayoral race or being offered a job by Donald Trump. He insists he’s the only true Republican candidate, highlighting his grassroots campaigning across the outer boroughs, record fundraising, and strong support from everyday New Yorkers. Sliwa blasts Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and socialist challenger Zohran Mamdani as corrupt, weak, or out of touch, while positioning himself as the fighter for working-class people, law and order, and tax cuts. He outlines plans to end congestion pricing, remove speed cameras, oppose sanctuary city policies, and crack down on crime. He also touts his growing team, endorsements, and backing from both Democrats who dislike Cuomo and Republicans energized by his candidacy. Confident and combative, Sliwa pledges he cannot be bullied out of the race and vows to take back New York City in 2026.
