7:41 P.M. — REP. NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS SAYS ‘I’LL WORK WITH WHOEVER PREVAILS’
In an Election Night interview on NY1, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican who represents Staten Island and part of Brooklyn in the U.S. House, looked ahead to a new mayoral administration for NYC.
“I’ll be happy with anybody but Mamdani,” Malliotakis said, but also said that she believed the candidate that she has endorsed and supported, Curtis Sliwa, was “the best candidate for the job.”
She also touched on former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent candidate.
“I could not support Andrew Cuomo and endorse him, why?” she said. “Because I fought against his policies in Albany for 10 years.”
She continued, “But if he wins tonight, I’d actually be happy.”
She said that she is not a Mamdani supporter because of his policies, saying she believes her feelings align with “a lot of people who don’t like socialism and fled socialism.”
Her mother fled the suppressive regime in Cuba.
Ultimately, though, she said “I’ll work with whoever prevails.” She said, “I have to,” as the Republican congressional representative from NYC.
