Part 5/10:
Curtis Lee’s position remains uncertain. The discussion highlights pressure from allies like John Casematitis, owner of WABC, who advocates for Curtis Lee to withdraw from the race to prevent a potential victory by a less favored candidate like Andrew Cuomo, colloquially referred to as “Zman.” Casematitis emphasizes that Curtis should prioritize the city’s interests over personal ambitions, framing the move as a patriotic act for the good of New York. The editorial stance of major publications like the New York Post aligns with this view, urging candidates to drop out for the greater good.
