Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa sparred over serious topics like the Israel-Hamas war and President Trump, and more curious subjects like parade attendance.
Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani last met on the debate stage in June, during the Democratic primary race; Curtis Sliwa previously ran for mayor in 2021.
Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has criticized Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani over his past support for decriminalizing prostitution. Mr. Mamdani’s campaign has not emphasized the issue.
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner in the New York City mayor’s race, appeared with Gov. Kathy Hochul for the first time since she endorsed him last month.
Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared in Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s district for an event on Tuesday, where she vowed to fight President Trump’s threats to withhold federal funding from New York.
Dismissing candidates like Zohran Mamdani simply because of their youth is no longer viable. Millennial and Gen Z Americans will only gain more political influence.
