The Democratic primary for New York City mayor is now a two-man battle. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo leads with 45% support, while socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani trails at 22%. Cuomo’s moderate stance on crime and business-friendly policies are resonating with voters tired of radical ideas. Mamdani’s extreme plans to defund police and hike taxes are sinking his chances with common-sense New Yorkers.
Meanwhile, Republican Curtis Sliwa is gaining momentum by focusing on real issues plaguing the city. The Guardian Angels founder vows to clean up crime-ridden subways and end the migrant crisis choking city resources. Sliwa’s practical solutions – like using feral cats to combat rats – contrast sharply with Mayor Adams’ failed leadership. New Yorkers are sick of empty promises and woke policies putting criminals first.
Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption scandal destroyed public trust. Though charges were dropped, the stench of backroom deals lingers. His weak response to surging crime and unchecked illegal immigration shows why Democrats can’t fix cities. Adams’ approval ratings are cratering as families flee his dangerous, disorderly streets.
Sliwa’s bold vision includes reinstating stop-and-frisk to take back neighborhoods from gangs. He’ll deport illegal immigrants clogging shelters and draining taxpayer funds. While liberals coddle lawbreakers, Sliwa stands with cops and hardworking citizens who just want safe parks and subways.
The migrant crisis has become a nightmare under Adams. Over 100,000 arrivals have overwhelmed schools, hospitals, and budgets. Sliwa promises to bus migrants to “sanctuary cities” run by Democrats who caused this mess. New Yorkers are done funding this invasion while veterans sleep on streets.
Adams’ radical green policies are killing small businesses. Forced electrification of buildings and gas stove bans hammer bodegas and restaurants. Sliwa will axe these job-killing rules, saying “let owners run their shops without City Hall insanity.” Common sense is finally on the ballot.
Crime remains the top concern. Murders and robberies continue rising as Adams cuts police funding. Sliwa’s Guardian Angels prove citizen patrols work better than defunded cops. New York needs a mayor who’ll back the blue, not apologize for criminals.
This election offers a clear choice: more Democrat decline or Sliwa’s tough-love turnaround. Polls show Trump’s strong 2024 NYC vote proves conservative ideas are rising. Sliwa’s fighting spirit could shock the establishment and save America’s greatest city from collapse.
