A defiant Curtis Sliwa forcefully rejected the growing calls for him to end his bid for New York City mayor. “So, let’s be very clear: I am not dropping out, under no circumstances,” the GOP nominee for mayor said at a press conference Tuesday morning. “I’ve already been offered money to drop out, I said no.” The comments come a day after his boss, influential Republican John Catsimatidis, issued a public plea for Sliwa to drop out of the race and unite behind Andrew Cuomo.
