New York City’s three mayoral candidates — Democrat Zohran Mamdani, independent Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa — faced off Thursday night in the first televised debate ahead of the November 4 election. The two-hour event, held at Rockefeller Center, saw sharp exchanges on crime, housing, affordability, policing, and transportation. Candidates also addressed President Trump’s policies and the recent Gaza ceasefire. Mamdani highlighted his lived experience and affordability plans, Cuomo emphasised his decades of political experience, and Sliwa positioned himself as an outsider focused on public safety. With tensions high, the candidates set the stage for the final debate on October 22 before early voting begins.
