NYC mayoral candidates Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa faced off in their final debate of the 2025 general election.

With Election Day in NYC just 13 days away, Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa will meet for the final time on the debate stage.

Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa challenged the front-runner Zohran Mamdani on experience, affordability and policy days before early voting begins.

Vice President JD Vance continues his trip to Israel today as the Trump administration seeks to shore up the ceasefire it brokered between Israel and Hamas.

The showdown could be the last and best chance for the candidates to convince voters before they cast their ballots.

Candidates came out swinging at New York City’s final mayoral debate Wednesday night, with all three candidates launching personal attacks and spotlighting each other’s hottest controversies.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and front-runner, was put on the defensive as his rivals, Andrew M. Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, sought to siphon some of his support in their last meeting before early voting begins.

Mamdani repeated his campaign promise to raise taxes on the wealthy 1% to provide more free services to New Yorkers. Cuomo says tax hikes will cause people to "flee" to Florida, Sliwa agreed. When Mamdani won the Democratic primary last June, it sparked an outpouring of alarm among the city’s business class.
