BROOKLYN — Republican City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov announced to the New York Post that she is withdrawing her support for Curtis Sliwa and endorsing former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race, citing concerns about Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Vernikov, representing Brooklyn’s 48th District, called Mamdani a “danger” to the city and said a vote for Sliwa could inadvertently help him. She emphasized she still supports Republicans in local races and praised Sliwa for his years of public service and contributions to the Jewish community.
Other GOP figures, including billionaire John Catsimatidis, have similarly shifted support to Cuomo in an effort to block Mamdani.

Chaverim, don’t take things lightly. We must go out and vote for CUOMO. As bad as he was in this crazy time of Covid he is no Mandami.Never in the past decades is an election so so important for Orthodox Jews. Communist Mandami is no liar. He says clearly what his agenda is. It is dangerous for any New Yorker and especially for Frum Yidden. NYC will become a full fledge cesspool if this evil character gets elected Chas V’shalom
Might be too little too late. Let’s daven and vote (for Cuomo).
Cuomo is not much better than zoran
He belongs to the Peleg faction, but lives in NYC.
im guessing a donor gave her an ultimatum your donations or cuomo
Traiter
she was always a fake Republican a, RINO, who marched in BLM protests and fights with ALL the local Republicans in Brooklyn. I guess Ackman got her a nice check to pay for her monthly trips to Florida.
