Mamdani aims to keep control while Cuomo angles for GOP votes ahead of final NYC mayoral debate

Cuomo urges conservatives to abandon Sliwa to prevent vote splitting and boost his chances against Mamdani in a tight New York City mayoral race.

  • On Wednesday night, New York City's mayoral candidates meet for a final debate as Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani aims to stay in control of a race increasingly seen as his to win during the 90-minute debate airing live on Spectrum News NY1 at 7 p.m.
  • After losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo rebooted his campaign and urged conservative and moderate voters to abandon Curtis Sliwa to avoid splitting the anti-Mamdani vote.
  • Curtis Sliwa has insisted he will not drop out and must hold nearly 30% of prior voters while attracting centrists to remain competitive after last week's debate.
  • The debate may be Cuomo's last chance ahead of next month's election, while Curtis Sliwa will try to convert his debate audience into real support in New York City.
  • Last week, Zohran Mamdani deflected much of Andrew Cuomo's verbal attacks while opponents criticized Mamdani's thin resume and highlighted President Donald Trump's threats, raising national scrutiny.
