Reactions to Wednesday night's New York City mayoral debate were heavily focused on the candidates' efforts to attack each other for alleged personal scandals, such as former Governor Andrew Cuomo's sexual harassment allegations and Zohran Mamdani's links to radical politics. The candidates' decision to relentlessly criticize each other amid their final chance to make a pitch to voters did not go unnoticed on social media. While each candidate received support and criticism all around, Cuomo's response to a question from Mamdani about what he would say to victims who have accused him of sexual harassment was frequently highlighted.

The two tore into each other in strikingly personal terms on their backgrounds, their policy ideas and how each would address antisemitism. Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, meanwhile, reprised his wildcard role as he refuses to bow to a pressure campaign from some Republicans to leave the race. Despite not winning President Donald Trump's endorsement and being mocked at times by the Queens-born president Sliwa said he would work with Trump to protect the city's interests.

there's high levels of testosterone in this room.

Duwaji, 28, skipped out on supporting her hubby during the debate and instead spent the evening instructing a workshop on ceramic tile design at a buzzy new Levantine bistro called Huda in East Williamsburg, according to photos obtained by The Post. The $95-a-ticket workshop began at 5 p.m. and ended at 7:30 p.m. - a half hour after Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa took to the debate stage.

He had more than ten years and he couldn't name a single mosque at the last debate we had that he visited. Mamdani continued, What Muslims want in this city is what every community wants and deserves. They want equality and they want respect, and it took me to get you to even see those Muslims as part of this city, and that frankly is something that is shameful and is why so many New Yorkers have lost faith in this politics.
