The two candidates, along with Republican Curtis Sliwa, faced off three days before early voting kicks off and with less than two weeks to go before Election Day.

Andrew Cuomo is trying to close ground in the New York City mayor’s race by escalating his warnings that “mayhem” would follow a victory by Zohran Mamdani.

Sliwa and Cuomo bashed Mamdani on his inexperience and crime policies but largely failed to deal decisive blows.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo skewered mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani’s key “freeze the rent” policy proposal — dismissing it as “blather” — throughout Wednesday’s final mayoral debate. The heated takedown came as Mamdani held firm on his signature campaign platform from the stage at the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center in Long Island City.

Front-runner Zohran Mamdani took big hits from both rivals Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa in the second and final mayoral debate Wednesday night.

The candidates faced off in a final mayoral debate at LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City, Queens.

President Trump will knock Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani on his "tuchus" if he becomes the Big Apple's next mayor, rival Andrew Cuomo said during Wednesday night's debate.

In a podcast interview that went viral over the weekend, Sliwa insisted he would stay in the mayoral contest. He took populist shots at the wealthy people trying to get him out and took direct aim at the claim Cuomo needs him to quit in order to win.

Socialist Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and independent candidate, former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, each claimed during Wednesday evening’s debate that the other a vote in support of President Donald Trump.

Eric Adams promised to be a crypto mayor back in 2021. Andrew Cuomo’s new proposal could be taking a shot at that title.
