The Fox News Rundown

New York City will pick its next mayor on Tuesday. While the Democrat Zohran Mamdani remains the frontrunner, independent Andrew Cuomo has cut into his lead in recent polls. Trailing behind both is Republican Curtis Sliwa. Critics of Sliwa, including many in his own party, say his decision not to drop out of the race despite trailing significantly gives Mamdani an advantage. Earlier this week, Curtis Sliwa spoke with FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal about the race, why he says his policies are the best to ‘save’ New York City, and why he has resisted pressure from all sides to drop out. Sliwa, a former New York City talk radio host, also addressed comments that he’s responsible for the ‘rise’ of Democrat Socialist Mamdani and pushed back against accusations that he's running solely for financial benefit. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Republican New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In just a few days, New York City, the world's business capital, will select its next mayor. The favorite to win is Democrat Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist. This title has raised concerns among both Republicans and some Democrats. In addition to his controversial views on Israel, his platform—which includes free buses, universal child care, and city-run grocery stores—has prompted many prominent Democrats to hesitate before supporting the frontrunner in next week's NYC mayoral race. While Mamdani’s focus on addressing the affordability crisis appeals to residents of one of America's most expensive cities, critics fear his use of "class warfare tactics." FOX Business’ Lydia Hu speaks with Dr. Eric Patterson, the President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington, D.C., to discuss his organization, the dangers of ‘class warfare’ rhetoric and policies, and why he fears Mamdani’s popularity and potential victory could signal a shift in American politics.
