Among other mayoral races across the country, New York City's stands out.
It features a young Democratic socialist and political newcomer leading by wide margins; an establishment Democrat and former New York governor; and a Republican known for crime-fighting in a red beret.
There's Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman who shocked his party by winning the city's ranked-choice Democratic primary by nearly 13 points in June.
Next, Andrew Cuomo, a moderate Democrat running as an independent, who led the state as governor for 10 years before resigning in a sexual harassment scandal in 2021.
And finally, Curtis Sliwa, a Republican, remains in the race in the overwhelmingly Democratic city, having run for mayor once before - securing 27% of the vote.
The debate won't include current New York Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped out of the race last month. His re-election quest floundered after a series of scandals, including his indictment in 2024 on federal bribery and fraud charges, which were later dropped after President Donald Trump took office.
Some Mamdani critics hoped Adams' departure from the race would help coalesce support around Cuomo, but despite a small boost, the latest polls suggest Mamdani maintains a double-digit lead.
Andrew Cuomo still trying to cling on I see a perfect example of the corrupt Democrat Establishment. The same establishment who narrowly plied, bribed, lied, regarding Hillary someone's win over Bernie Sanders. to make matters worse Andrew Cuomo is a family political dynasty and they are no different from dictators and the likes of North Korea. Republicans have plenty too so not letting you fuckers off.
Almost all on both sides are beholden to their donors and special interest group.
trump didn't clear that swamp did he. Fuck me who could have ever have guessed. Currently he has enriched himself and family to the tune of $5billion, and his backers donors shit tonne more, including pardons, and special and huge federal contracts to the tune of trillions.
I looked up the net worth of America's politician's once. Most of them are millionaires. I never looked up their net worth before they won their first seats but guessing most of them are filthy richer since.

Born and raised in Uganda before moving to New York at age seven, Mamdani is a pro-Palestinian, Democratic socialist who is presenting one of the most progressive platforms of any New York mayoral candidate in recent history.
The 33-year-old's proposals include free bus service and a chain of city-owned grocery stores. He has been endorsed by prominent progressives including Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
It looks to me like the Democrat, Republican, Trump and Jewish, establishments are trying to stop him at any cost. Fuck them.
