Andrew Cuomo open to offering Curtis Sliwa a job if he drops his NYC mayoral bid
As he scrambles to assemble a winning coalition, independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday he’d be willing to offer his Republican opponent, Curtis Sliwa, a job as an incentive for him to exit the race for City Hall.
“I haven’t even thought about it to tell you the truth, but, yes, that would be something that I am interested in,” Cuomo said on conservative talk radio host Sid Rosenberg’s show when asked if he’d consider giving Sliwa a job in his potential mayoral administration in exchange for a commitment from Sliwa to end his mayoral campaign.
“We need a coalition to run this city,” the former governor added. “We need New Yorkers to come together.”
The comments mark the latest wrinkle in an effort to push Sliwa out of the race in hopes it’d increase Cuomo’s chances of beating Democratic mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani in the Nov. 4 election. Polls show Cuomo’s best shot at winning is a two-man race.
