Curtis Sliwa | Candidate, Mayor of New York City | 09-04-25

Curtis Sliwa, Republican running for Mayor of New York City, calls into the program to discuss swirling rumors that Mayor Eric Adams may drop out of the race to pursue a Trump administration role, allegedly with the help of Susie Wiles. Sliwa said insiders told him Adams had been “prospecting for a job,” but he made clear he has no such plans and is firmly committed to running for mayor. He accused Adams of lying to donors by suggesting Sliwa was leaving the race, which hurt his campaign early on, but emphasized that he’s since gained momentum, raising more money than Adams and Andrew Cuomo combined. Sliwa dismissed polls showing Cuomo competitive, calling him untrustworthy and unelectable, while also attacking Zohran Mamdani as a radical who can’t lead the city. Reaffirming his loyalty to New York, Sliwa vowed the only way he’d leave the race is “in a casket,” and celebrated receiving a lifetime achievement award from Barrett Media as his campaign builds support across the boroughs.
