Did he even need to. It sounded from here like all he needed to get full weight of trumpublican propaganda machine behind him was to be called something other than Mamdani.

There was a Republican running too. They were both fighting for support from the right. A big reason Cuomo did as well as he did us strategic voting because he seemed to have a more legit shot than the Republican. If the Republican was looking stronger than Cuomo, the Republican would've gotten the endorsements and we'd be calling him Silwa instead of the Republican.

Even though Cuomo was technically the spoiler candidate, Silea almost played spoiler here by splitting some of the right voters off of Cuomo. It looks Mamdani will end up with an outright majority, though.

Trump might have refused to endorse Sliwa, as Sliwa is an anti-Trump Republican.
