Trump dismisses Sliwa as cat-loving lightweight in NYC mayor race
President Trump Friday dismissed Republican Curtis Sliwa as a cat-loving lightweight who has little chance of winning the New York City mayor’s race against Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani.
Riffing on Sliwa’s well-known penchant for felines, Trump said the GOP standard-bearer does not have the gravitas to beat Mamdani in deep-blue New York.
“I’m a Republican, but Curtis is not exactly primetime,” Trump said on the Fox & Friends show. “He wants cats in Gracie Mansion… We don’t need to have thousands of cats.”
Trump repeated his suggestion that Sliwa and Mayor Adams should drop out of the contest to give ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent, a better shot at beating Mamdani in the November general election.
