""It was not Zohran Mamdani's debate performance. It was Curtis Sliwa's statement after the debate that he is not leaving that has tipped the odds to 90% for Mamdani," Ackman wrote on X."
""Billionaires aren't going to decide the outcome - it's the voters. It's the people. Let the people decide," said Maria Sliwa, the candidate's spokeswoman."
""Cuomo lost the primary as a Democrat. He's running as an independent. Curtis is on a major party line just like Mamdani. If anything, Cuomo should drop out, not Curtis.""
""This race won't be decided by millionaires, billionaires or professional politicians. It will be decided by the voters on Nov. 4.""
Bill Ackman says Curtis Sliwa's refusal to exit the New York City mayoral race has boosted Zohran Mamdani's likelihood of victory to roughly 90% according to Polymarket odds. Ackman posted those odds on X showing Mamdani well ahead of Andrew Cuomo and Sliwa. Ackman has backed Cuomo's independent bid and urged Sliwa to drop out to give Cuomo a better shot. Pershing Square offered no further comment beyond Ackman's posts. Sliwa's campaign rejected donor influence and said voters, not billionaires, will decide the outcome, with Sliwa remaining to provide Republicans a choice.
