The 30-second ad employs AI-generated video of Cuomo failing at everyday jobs, such as driving a New York City subway train or washing a skyscraper’s windows. He says that while he could “pretend” to do many jobs, “I know what I know, and I know what I don’t know. In the 30-second spot, first reported by the New York Post, Sliwa contends the city won’t be safe if either Mamdani or Cuomo are elected mayor. The narrator then charges that Mamdani wants to “go even further.”“With them in charge, you are not safe,” the narrator says. Cuomo believes he will have a better chance of overcoming Mamdani with Sliwa out of the way.
