New York City’s mayoral candidates are making a final push as voters prepare for Election Day, which is set for Tuesday. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa are all campaigning at a brisk pace across the city’s five boroughs as they seek to gain the support of undecided voters.
In a race that has already produced spikes of excitement and controversy, each candidate has been focusing on unique aspects of their campaign. Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, hopes to make history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, emphasizing his commitment to making the city more affordable. He aims to engage a progressive base that must remain motivated to ensure high turnout on Election Day.
Cuomo is attempting to make a statement after resigning from office four years ago following numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies. In his bid as an independent candidate, he’s turned his attention to appealing to Republican voters to solidify his base and position himself as the candidate who can challenge Mamdani effectively.
Meanwhile, Sliwa, known for his work with the Guardian Angels and his presence on New York airwaves, is strategically positioning himself to disrupt both Democratic candidates’ chances by advocating for public safety and engaging directly with voters in the streets and subways.
As the clock ticks down to Election Day, all three candidates remain fervently advocating for their vision for New York, trying to leave a lasting impression on the electorate.
