Sunday, October 19, 2025 11:42PMWith just over two weeks away from the New York City mayoral election, all three candidates continue to forge their own path on the campaign trail.Mamdani has a commanding lead over Cuomo in the polls, but was out in Queens on Sunday looking to put a nail in the coffin.
"What I'm hearing from New Yorkers time and time again is that they want a change in their politics, they want a city that can be more than a place where they struggle and they're seeing that no matter - for all the discussion of who's on the ballot - it's more of a question of what's on the ballot," said Mamdani. On that ballot is also going to be Curtis Sliwa. The Republican candidate joined the Sheepshead Bay community on Sunday in protest of a shelter on Coyle Street. "My opponents - they want to destroy residential neighborhoods with the 'City of Yes' -- both Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo," said Sliwa., joined Bill Ritter on 'Up Close' this week"Curtis Sliwa cannot win the race. He was put on by the Republican Party bosses. I believe he's there as a spoiler," said Cuomo, "A vote for Curtis Sliwa is, in my opinion, in essence, a vote for Zohran Mamdani.""For the last nine days, he hasn't even been campaigning," said Sliwa. Cuomo continues to position himself as the most effective leader in dealing with the Trump administration. "My opponent says well we will sue. Go look at Portland, look at Chicago. Suing doesn't work. President Trump gets sued 17 times a day before he brushes his teeth. You're not going to slow him down by suing the federal government. You have to stop the action from happening," Cuomo said. Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist who has the backing of several major Democrats, has been missing a key endorsement from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We'll certainly more to say about the mayor's race and about our democratic nominee prior to early voting beginning," Jeffries said. Jeffries had previously referenced some policy differences he has with Mamdani, specifically on the Democratic party's economic vision.
