Republicans need Cuomo where he is, because they want a guy who can say "I'm a lifelong Democrat and I hate all the voters in the Democratic Party". Guys like the Cuomo Brothers and Eric Adams make for excellent Kapos by screaming "Save us from ourselves!" with a megaphone provided by Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

Meanwhile, as Sliwa himself as demonstrated, there's really no stomach for a turncoat Democrats in the Republican Party. This is one big difference between the two parties. Democrats down in Florida will happily nominate a former Republican to run statewide, because all they care about is "winning" in the abstract. Republicans enjoy having Cuomo kowtow to their leader while wearing Dem swag, but would never trust this guy anywhere near a position of authority.
