GOP mayoral candidate urges Trump to stay out of New York City race

Trump’s interference in the New York election could embolden Democratic candidate Zohran Mandani.

“In this situation, it doesn’t help if he intervenes in New York City,” Silwa told Fox 5’s Morgan McKay on “Politics Unusual” on Friday.

“Every day it’s Trump versus Zohran Mamdani, it’s a good day for Zohran Mamdani. Every day that Cuomo and Adams talks about you, ‘you drop out, you job out,’ it’s a good day for Zohran Mamdani,” he continued.

The New York City race for mayor has sparked heavy tensions. Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, surprisingly won the Democratic primary against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is now running as an independent alongside the current NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

and Trump knows this.

Trump won’t help Sliwa even though he’s the Republican nominee.
