NYC Mayor’s Race: Republican county chairs reaffirm ‘unequivocal support’ for Sliwa amid calls to drop out

The five Republican Party county leaders in New York City have reaffirmed their “unequivocal support” for their party’s mayoral nominee, Curtis Sliwa, ahead of the Nov. 4 general election.

The vote of confidence issued in an Oct. 21 statement responded to numerous public calls for Sliwa to drop out of the election to give former Gov. Andrew Cuomo a better chance of beating Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in a one-on-one contest. The GOP leaders maintained that they and their party faithful would never support Cuomo under any circumstances.
