7 Takeaways From the Final N.Y.C. Mayoral Debate

In the final New York City mayoral debate, Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani played it safe, sidestepping flashpoints and vowing to retain the police commissioner. Independent candidate Andrew M. Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa repeatedly went on the attack, calling Mamdani inexperienced and evasive. The contenders clashed over housing, antisemitism, how to confront President Trump, and handling immigration raids. A notably energized Cuomo, criticized last week for a languid showing, pressed Mamdani throughout. Early voting begins Saturday ahead of the Nov. 4 election.
