I know there are a lot of people on Twitter, a lot of Cuomo fans, who think that this race is closing. I want what they're having, he continued. Because if we take a look at the choice for New York City mayor, look, back in September, Mamdani was ahead by 15 points, my aggregate of polls, 45% to 30%. You jump to now, it's basically the same story. If nothing else, Mamdani might have actually gained a point or two.

Donald Trump is smart. He picks the fights that he knows he can win. You fight with me, you fight with New York, that's going to be ugly. He'll probably win because he's the president, but he's going to know that he was in a fight.

Since Mayor Eric Adams ended his reelection campaign in September, due to his lack of popularity and growing list of scandals, the remaining candidates are: Zohran Mamdani (D), Curtis Sliwa (R), and Andrew Cuomo (I), who notably lost to Mamdani in the Democratic primary but unfortunately refuses to take no for an answer. Something Sliwa hilariously pointed out during the debate.

With two and a half weeks before Election Day in New York City, Zohran Mamdani is maintaining his front-runner status while independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa struggle to chip away at his support. Ahead of the race's first of two general-election debates, Mamdani achieved a significant milestone as he hit 50 percent in a poll for the very first time in the race.

A new poll in the New York City mayoral race just landed. This is the first poll focused exclusively on New York City Latino voters in this electoral cycle, and will likely be the only one: few polls are ever taken to take the pulse of the issues important to Latino voters and the candidates they prefer. The Hispanic Federation, which commissioned this poll, must be commended for this admirable and needed work.

The freewheeling New York City mayor's race has focused on a few key issues: making the city more affordable, improving public safety, navigating President Trump's second term and the war in Gaza. Zohran Mamdani, 33, the Democratic nominee, is running on a populist agenda and has a strong lead in the polls. Mr. Mamdani, a state assemblyman and democratic socialist, wants to make city buses free and enact universal child care, but has limited experience in government.

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin on Friday endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee in the New York City mayoral race, just weeks ahead of Election Day. "He's running to make NYC more affordable for everyone and has captured the nation's attention with his incredible campaign," Martin, who was elected by fellow Democrats to his position earlier this year, wrote in a post on X. "Go vote for Zohran this November!"

With less than four weeks until Election Day, Zohran Mamdani maintains a double-digit lead in the race for New York City mayor, but former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is narrowing the gap, according to a new poll. Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist state lawmaker from Queens who shocked the political world in June with his convincing win over Cuomo and nine other candidates to capture the Democratic Party's mayoral nomination,

"If this money is funded by the additional taxes or it's funded by a better-than-expected (tax) assessment, or it's funded by a pot of money that wasn't previously spoken about, or savings that have come in, then the most important thing is that it's funded," he said.

The ad, titled Things Can Change, opens with a woman speaking directly to the camera on a city street, saying: I used to love New York, but now it's just where I live. It then turns to footage of other New Yorkers watching Mamdani's primary win on their TVs and phones. New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford, Mamdani says in voiceover. We'll freeze the rent, make buses fast and free, and deliver universal child care,

Crown Heights United PAC, a political group "anchored in the Crown Heights Jewish community" which is the center of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, endorsed Cuomo Monday morning. "We proudly endorse Andrew Cuomo for Mayor of New York City," Crown Heights United PAC wrote in a statement, which was signed by 13 rabbis and community leaders. "With extremism and antisemitism on the rise, and the city facing an unprecedented crisis, it is more important than ever to make our voices heard and vote."
