Eric Trump warned that former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has no shot at defeating Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race if Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa remains in the contest.
Appearing Tuesday on Fox News’s America Reports, the president’s son said Sliwa’s refusal to exit the race would divide the anti-Mamdani vote and ensure a left-wing victory in November.
“Can Cuomo pull off victory if Sliwa is still in the race?” host Sandra Smith asked Trump.
“No, of course not,” Trump replied. “That’s why the New York Post, that’s why one of your own companies [referring to the fact that News Corp, which owns the New York Post, and Fox Corporation are both owned by the Murdoch family] is strongly encouraging him to get out of the race.”
