Cuomo and Sliwa force Mamdani on defense in final debate

In the final New York City mayoral debate, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa aggressively targeted frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, criticizing his lack of experience, policy positions, and past comments on Israel.

Cuomo attacked Mamdani’s record, pandemic book deal, and handling of city issues, while Mamdani fired back by highlighting Cuomo’s scandals and portraying him as aligned with Donald Trump.

The debate touched on handling Trump, affordability, policing, and street vendor reform, with Mamdani emphasizing collaboration on city issues but rejecting federal overreach.

Despite the attacks, Mamdani has maintained a strong double-digit lead since his primary upset over Cuomo, while Sliwa remains a long-shot candidate, Politico has reported.

The forum served as Cuomo’s final debate appearance, underscoring the narrowing window for him and Sliwa to challenge Mamdani’s path to City Hall.
