US EditionMamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa clash bitterly during final NYC mayoral debate
- On Wednesday, Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa faced off in a New York City debate three days before early voting, with Mamdani holding a double-digit lead.
- The debate centered on affordability, housing, homelessness and policing, with Mamdani committing to keep New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, while candidates first addressed national issues like Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and Donald Trump.
- In heated exchanges, Andrew Cuomo attacked Zohran Mamdani's résumé, calling him a `kid` and a `rehash` of Bill de Blasio, while Mamdani highlighted Cuomo's scandals by bringing Charlotte Bennett and citing nursing-home deaths and a $5 million book deal.
- Opponents urged Curtis Sliwa to exit, but Sliwa showed no indication of withdrawing, while Andrew Cuomo said, `I confronted him, and I have beaten him` regarding Donald Trump.
- Cuomo warned Mamdani lacks the experience to lead a city of nearly 9 million and to resist Trump, who has threatened to withhold federal funding; Mamdani pledged to fight Trump `every step of the way` on deportations.
