Billionaire Blowup: NYC’s Catsimatidis Tells Rival to Quit – Pershing Square’s Ackman Admits He “Hates Wasting Money”

Sliwa refused to withdraw, accusing billionaires of meddling. Betting markets give Mamdani a 93% chance of winning. Analysts say Sliwa’s presence narrows Cuomo’s odds but does not close Mamdani’s lead.
