You Vote: After Wednesday's fiery debate in the NYC mayor race, what are you hoping for now?
Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa launched into blistering attacks against each other on a range of issues.
The top three candidates in New York City's mayoral race clashed Wednesday night in a fiery second debate with early voting set to get underway this weekend.
Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa launched into blistering attacks against each other on a range of issues as moderators peppered them with questions about their plans for taking over the nation's largest city. The three men are vying to replace outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, who opted not to seek reelection.
Mamdani went into Wednesday night's debate with a double-digit lead in the polls and was immediately attacked by Cuomo and Sliwa over his left-wing proposals and previous statements criticizing the NYPD and Israel. Cuomo criticized Mamdani for lacking political experience, but Mamdani sought to portray Cuomo as an out-of-touch politician with a checkered record in office.
