A new report alleges that New York City mayoral candidates Andrew Cuomo and Michael Sliwa may have been swayed to exit the mayoral race due to claims of corruption and misconduct by former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The report claims that the two candidates, who are part of the mayoral race, are under pressure from political allies to withdraw from the race due to the allegations against Cuomo. The report, which was published by a New York-based investigative news outlet, suggests that the candidates may have been influenced by their political allies to withdraw from the race, as they believe that the allegations against Cuomo could damage their chances of winning the election.
The report states that the candidates’ decision to potentially withdraw from the race is based on concerns that the allegations against Cuomo could lead to a political backlash, particularly from Republican voters. The two candidates, who are part of the mayoral race, are now under pressure from their political allies to withdraw from the race in order to avoid further damage to their chances of winning the election.
Despite the report’s claims, the candidates have not officially confirmed or denied the allegations. However, their political allies have reportedly been in contact with them to discuss the potential withdrawal from the race. The report’s claims have sparked a debate among political analysts and observers, who are now speculating about the potential impact of the allegations on the mayoral race and the political landscape in New York City.
