Mamdani, Sliwa, Cuomo Square Off in Heated NYC Mayoral Debate
Three candidates with diverse political backgrounds debate key issues including affordable housing and city budget ahead of New York City's early November mayoral election.
- At 7 p.m. on Thursday, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa will debate at Rockefeller Plaza, streaming on NBC 4 New York and Telemundo in the first of two debates before the Nov. 4 election.
- A Quinnipiac University poll released earlier this month shows Zohran Mamdani leading with 46% to Andrew Cuomo's 33% and Curtis Sliwa's 15%, after Mamdani won the Democratic primary by nearly 13 points and Mayor Eric Adams dropped out last month.
- Zohran Mamdani, state assemblyman, proposes free buses, rent freezes for rent-stabilized tenants, and city grocery stores, while Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor, resigned amid sexual harassment findings.
- Robert Shapiro predicts Andrew Cuomo will attack Zohran Mamdani on free child care and buses during Thursday's debate, which already turned confrontational as Cuomo pressed Mamdani on Hamas and 'globalize the intifada.'
- Small-Dollar donors, including back-office financial workers, favor Mamdani, while Wall Street elites heavily back Cuomo, with 95% of industry donations supporting him, and Trump called Mamdani a 'communist.
