Asked what advice he would give Zohran Mamdani, Mayor Brandon Johnson alluded to the leftist coalition in Chicago souring on him after his 2023 election.

Sliwa referenced how Cuomo said in his own interview on Good Day that he did not run a strong race prior to the mayoral primary election. He also declared himself "the guy who can fight Zohran Mamdani," claiming that the other candidates are too preoccupied with demanding the others drop out of the race.
