The withdrawal of New York's incumbent Democrat mayor, Eric Adams, in September means the city will have a new leader either rising Democatic star Zohran Mamdani, activist and unopposed Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa or former New York governor turned independent candidate, Andrew Cuomo. Considered a huge outsider in the race, Silwa is a conservative, who hosts radio talk shows, describes himself as a populist and is famous in the city for his vigilante-like Guardian Angels group who aim to prevent crime.

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign held a huge Get Out the Vote rally in front of a packed and energized Forest Hills Stadium on Sunday evening, joining co-headliners and prominent democratic socialists U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to call for a final push from volunteers ahead of election day on Nov. 4. Mamdani, the frontrunner

The thing about off-year elections is that there are so few of them that it's tempting to over-interpret their significance. That's particularly true when the key races are viewed as tests for a Democratic Party that is terrified about its past and future and unsure of its identity. Right now the four off-year contests that are getting the most national attention are the mayoral race in New York City, gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, and the Prop 50 retaliatory gerrymandering ballot initiative in California.

Former President Barack Obama (D) praised Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist who is the odds-on favorite to become the next mayor of New York City, for running an impressive campaign during a 30-minute phone call on Saturday, according to The New York Times. The ex-president also offered to be a sounding board to Mamdani, if he wins the election on Nov. 4.

The brightest light in the Democratic party is Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old member of the New York state assembly who has a good chance of being elected the next mayor of New York City when New Yorkers go to the polls a week from Tuesday. Mamdani is talking about what matters to most voters: the cost of living. He says New York should be affordable for everyone. He's addressing the problems New Yorkers discuss at their kitchen tables.

To be clear, unequivocal, and on the record: I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the New York Jewish community, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of the Conservative Upper East Side Park Avenue Synagogue said in a sermon last weekend, a line endorsed by more than 1,000 American rabbis and echoed in the op-ed pages of some of the US's biggest papers.

It is riddled with anti-Black caricatures, racism, and misinformation about Mamdani's platform, which includes establishing a department of community safety that would shift responsibilities like intervention in mental health crises away from police. The ad features AI-generated "criminals" who support Mamdani because he would let them off without consequences if he were mayor - which is both a misrepresentation of Mamdani's platform and simply not how the criminal legal system works.

New York can't be Europe, folks. I don't know what is wrong with people. You see what's playing out in other countries because countries because of Islamic extremism. Not Muslims let's not mix this up but those Islamic extremisms that are burning churches in Nigeria, that are destroying communities in Germany, that have taken over the logical thinkings and that is what I am fighting for. I am fighting for the family of New York.

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.

"I'm appreciative that those measures are on the ballot," Mr. Mamdani said, filling his 60-second answer with platitudes and grand promises of more construction.

Kabab King is a small spot located at the intersection of Broadway, 73rd Street, and 37th Road in Queens' Jackson Heights neighborhood that serves a mixture of Indian and Pakistani dishes. In the interview, Mamdani says his favorite thing to grab from the local spot is the classic Indian dish biryani, which is layered and spiced rice with meat and vegetables, with Kabab King offering both chicken and goat options.

"bring a transformative new era of pro-safe streets, pro-public transit leadership to City Hall,"

A lot of people are saying if you're in New York, the place to go for solace and peace and the chance- and promise has been Florida. The numbers don't lie. What has his candidacy since he won the nomination, two weeks away from the election, what has it done for Florida real estate? Kilmeade asked.

"Sadly it seems that my family and I will be departing the city I've called home my entire life,"
