Sliwa concedes as Mamdani stays ahead of Cuomo
Curtis Sliwa, Republican nominee, concedes at the Arte Cafe in the Upper West Side about half an hour after polls closed.
Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for mayor, concedes while alleging that he received a recent call to “bribe” him to drop out of the race. He claimed, without any proof, that he was offered $10 million to leave the race.
Sliwa said that he received a call in which a person said to him, “ ‘C'mon Curtis, everybody has a price.’ But guess what, we don’t have a price. You can’t buy us.”
“They tried to bribe me out of this race,” Sliwa said.
He also sent a message to Zohran Mamdani, without naming him.
“If you try to implement socialism,” Sliwa said, “we’re not only organizing, but we are mobilizing and we will become the mayor-elect and his supporters' worst enemies.”
