Fmr. Gov. Sec. Melissa DeRosa (D-NY) | 03-29-26

Melissa DeRosa and host Jake Novak discuss allegations of political collusion during a recent New York City mayoral election. They argue that Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa acted as a "spoiler" to intentionally split the vote, thereby ensuring a victory for the socialist candidate, Zoran Mamdani, over former Governor Andrew Cuomo. By highlighting Sliwa’s public appearance with his supposed opponent and his history of attacking the Cuomo family, the speakers suggest that the election was a victim of strategic manipulation rather than a fair contest.
