Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate for New York City mayor, vowed to continue working for the city's benefit despite his decisive loss. "We have no price. You can't buy us, rent us, lease us - we are not for sale. We are the people," he told the crowd around him. Sliwa wished success to Zohran Mamdani "because if he succeeds, we will succeed too," but also said he would be there to scrutinize his policies. "To our new leaders: if you try to implement socialism, if you try to make our police weak and helpless, if you neglect public safety, we will become the worst enemy of the mayor-elect and his supporters," he declared.
