"Curtis Sliwa, the red beret-wearing Republican candidate for mayor, says he's staying right where he is: In the fight. The mayor's race is in the home stretch, and with incumbent Eric Adams now out of the running, Sliwa is seen by some politicos as the third wheel in a larger matchup between Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and independent former Gov. Andrew Cuomo."
"After Adams dropped out of the contest, a recent poll suggested Cuomo picked up a big chunk of Adams voters and some believe Sliwa's voters could help Cuomo pull off a victory if the Guardian Angels founder drops out of the race. Yet Sliwa, in an interview with Schneps Media, brushed off polls showing him as an underdog. In Quinnipiac's latest poll of 1,015 likely voters, taken Oct. 3-7, Sliwa remains in third place with 15% support."
"He claimed a strong base among independents, saying he understands them from his time as state Reform Party chair. I look at favorability versus unfavorability. Most people say, We might not vote for Curtis, but he's honest and he cares.' After the interview, he told amNewYork there was only one way he would leave the race: A Mack truck hits me and I get turned into a speed bump, and they can't recover me in the ICU."
Curtis Sliwa remains in the New York City mayoral race and portrays himself as staying in the fight. He occupies a third-place position with 15% support in a recent Quinnipiac poll of 1,015 likely voters (Oct. 3–7). He asserts a strong independent base from his time as state Reform Party chair and prioritizes favorability. Public safety is the cornerstone of his campaign; he rejects NYPD statistics, accuses City Hall of cozying with developers, and pledges a safer city for residents and pets. He stated he will not exit the race except under a fatal accident scenario.
