New York City mayoral candidates Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa traded blows on the debate stage on Thursday, with the trio clashing over everything from Israel to the cost of living and President Donald Trump.
In truth, the evening was all about Mamdani, the progressive Democrat leading the race, and his independent challenger Cuomo, New York’s scandal-hit former governor, who each fought to make the case that he is the best man to lead the Big Apple. At the same time, the other was too compromised and inept for the job.
