Curtis Sliwa REFUSES to Drop Out of NYC Mayoral Race

On The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, the hosts reacted to Curtis Sliwa’s refusal to drop out of the NYC mayoral race—and the rise of progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay Travis argued that Mamdani’s potential victory could actually benefit the GOP nationally, saying it would highlight the radical shift in urban politics and energize conservative voters across the country.

Buck Sexton added his own take, hoping that if Mamdani does win, “the silver lining is that he’ll be unable to implement his communist agenda.” The duo agreed that Mamdani’s platform may play well in deep-blue districts, but it could backfire on the national stage by exposing the extremes of left-wing governance.

It’s a strategic breakdown of urban politics, party optics, and what Clay & Buck see as a win-win for the GOP—whether Mamdani wins or not.
