Curtis Sliwa voters stuck in a pickle as NYC mayor's race narrows
A chance encounter between a voter and Curtis Sliwa on the Upper West Side highlights the challenges facing the Republican mayoral nominee amid mounting calls for his withdrawal from the race.
The Guardian Angels founder was speaking outside the 96th Street station on Monday morning, one day after Mayor Eric Adams had dropped out of the race. Bill Apple, 76, emerged from the station and ran into Sliwa.
The registered Democrat donated twice to Sliwa, whom he described as someone who “knows the city.”
“I detest Andrew Cuomo,” Apple said, citing the former governor’s management of the pandemic and his sexual harassment scandals.
