Curtis Sliwa, a prominent Republican figure in New York City, has once again made it clear that he intends to stay in the mayoral race, despite the challenges he faces from both within and outside his party. As early voting is set to begin, Sli,wa is leveraging his strong presence on social media to engage with voters and counter negative narratives about his campaign. His decision to remain in the race comes amid heightened scrutiny, including recent criticisms from opponents like Bill Ackman.
During an appearance on The Will Cain Show, Sliwa directly addressed claims made by Ackman, who has been a vocal critic of Sliwa’s campaign. Ackman has questioned Sliwa’s ability to win the election, citing his lack of experience in city governance and potential challenges in mobilizing a broader voter base. In response, Sliwa emphasized his social media strategy as a key tool in reaching voters, particularly younger demographics who are increasingly influential in urban elections.
The upcoming early voting period is set to be a critical phase in the race, as it allows voters to cast their ballots before the official election day. Sliwa’s campaign is focusing on expanding its reach through digital platforms, claiming that this approach is more effective in engaging the diverse electorate of New York City. While his opponents have expressed skepticism about his strategy, Sliwa remains confident in his path to victory, stating that his campaign is well-positioned to gain traction in the weeks ahead.
