The Issue: Various reports on President Trump’s hopes to sort out the New York City mayoral race.
I have to agree with President Trump; two of the candidates should drop out of the race for mayor of New York City (“Stop this guy or I will,” Sept. 5).
However, contradicting Trump’s idea, I believe former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa should drop out and support Mayor Adams. If it’s Adams versus Zohran Mamdani, Adams will prevail based on his accomplishments and supporters.

President Trump is not doing New Yorkers any favors by suggesting the corrupt Andrew Cuomo should be mayor. As mayor, Cuomo, like Mamdani, would be every cop’s nightmare.
As New York’s governor, Cuomo made it known that he has no love for law enforcement by calling ICE agents “a bunch of thugs.” Locally, he tied the hands of police by eliminating qualified immunity and by blessing radical changes to our legal system.
New Yorkers, take note: Curtis Sliwa has let it be known that no one can buy him. It would be a breath of fresh air to have someone like that in office.

Curtis Sliwa has finally come to the forefront. I don’t understand why President Trump won’t endorse and encourage his candidacy for mayor of New York City.
Curtis has New York in his blood; he was born in Brooklyn and has protected this city with fellow Guardian Angels for decades. We need protection, law enforcement, clean streets — shall I go on?
Trump and Sliwa have New York’s best interest at heart. Trump originates from Queens and Sliwa from Brooklyn. They have the same mindset: To get the job done.

If elected, Andrew Cuomo will flip within the first month to the Republican Party. He will follow Adams’ example, drink his Kool-Aid and accept any help from Trump.

The outcome of the mayoral race will be determined by a single New Yorker: President Trump. If he offers two of the three major Mamdani opponents high-profile federal jobs as an inducement to drop out of the race, then New York City has a chance of survival.

Since when does a president dictate who should run or not run for a political office, especially in New York?
Trump is totally out of bounds on this one and based on the Constitution, he has no business in this election. This is up to the people and —like it or not — their choice is rock solid for socialist Mamdani.
Let’s be honest for a moment: None of the candidates are great choices, but it is what it is.

President Trump has made a very grave error in threatening to throw his weight around regarding the New York City mayoral race.
I understand his concerns for the city, as Zohran Mamdani would be a disaster if elected. However, Trump’s threat just solidified the description of dictator against himself, and that will push Trump-haters to vote for Mamdani out of spite.

I agree with Trump on issues more than 90% of the time, but when it comes to the pivotal New York City mayoral race, he is way off.
I agree that Zohran Mamdani as mayor would be a disaster for the city. But when it comes down to which candidate should contest him, Trump sees former Gov. Cuomo as the last man standing.
For a candidate who campaigned on being a “law and order” president, I find it surprising that Trump wouldn’t prefer Guardian Angels founder, Curtis Sliwa.

How absurd it is that Trump acts as though New York’s former governor is the only viable alternative when he was so soundly beaten in the primary.
It’s hard to imagine Andrew Cuomo ever being seen as the lesser of two evils — even were he to be compared to Satan.
