Cuomo is a Democrat who can attract Democrats who are wary of electing a radical Muslim Commie. It's true that Sliwa is the best choice in this election. But he's a Republican and a weak candidate and Cuomo's dropping out wouldn't help him much.
Unless there's video of Mamdani yelling, "Death to America!" (and maybe not even then), Dems won't cross party lines to vote for Sliwa, and there aren't enough Republicans in New York to give him the win.
Only 28% of voters, voted in the last mayoral election. Giuliani won as a republican, but nyc has gone downhill since then and repubs moved out. It is possible for Sliwa to win but slim. They had the election close in a poll with Cuomo dropping out.
