From the New York Post: Front-runner Zohran Mamdani broke a sweat – literally – during a knock-down-drag-out final mayoral debate Wednesday as a fired-up Andrew Cuomo repeatedly pressed him to “quit acting” and deliver straight answers.
The normally smooth-talking socialist was repeatedly pinned into a corner by the unlikely tag team of Cuomo, the ex-governor running as an independent, and GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa, who labeled Mamdani’s policy proposals “fantasy.”
Seizing the last opportunity to cut Mamdani down to size — with 13 days to go before the Nov. 4 election — the thirsty rivals wouldn’t let any of the Democratic nominee’s non-answers slide off the LaGuardia Community College stage.
“Don’t be a politician,” Sliwa taunted when Mamdani tried to dodge giving his opinion about important ballot proposals, mousily saying he was “appreciative that those measures will be on the ballot.”
“Oh, what a shocker,” Cuomo sniped, before mocking the front-runner with a talking hands gesture.
The report notes Mamdani was visibly sweating as he dodged multiple other questions, including those on the topics of:
- Education reform
- Public Safety
- Housing
- Ballot measures

A shiny and sweaty Zohran Mamdani says his “free” bus service would only cost $700 million.
Problem is he can’t actually pay for it since he can’t raise taxes on billionaires or corporations.
And free buses will be crowded, dangerous, slow, and smelly.pic.twitter.com/nPdHFAO6Ip

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani says that if you’re in danger and call 911, dispatchers should first decide whether it’s appropriate to send police.
So if you’re being mugged, assaulted, or your home’s being broken into — you’ll have to wait while they “assess” if cops should come. pic.twitter.com/7CDQtlL9mi

Andrew Cuomo just eviscerated Zohran Mamdani for being a snake oil salesman.
“You’ve never had a job. You’ve never accomplished anything. You never proposed a bill in NY senate to fix anything. You had the worst attendance. You never even showed up. SHAME ON YOU.” pic.twitter.com/N184Nrme43

Andrew Cuomo just eviscerated Zohran Mamdani for touting how he’s pro-LGBTQ, while simultaneously having meetings and smiling with the Ugandan Deputy PM who made homosexuality punishable by death.
