Reuters 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. Most local elections don't draw national attention, said Patrick Egan, professor of politics and public policy at New York University. "This one is a little bit different," he said, citing "the high-wattage personalities" involved.

"Together, these leaders represent thousands of congregants and decades of moral leadership‚'' the announcement from the mayoral candidate's campaign said. "They cited Cuomo's record of working with all communities, his deep respect for faith-based organizations, and his vision to restore safety, opportunity, and unity across New York City." Faith leaders are the backbone of our communities and help heal our city's soul, Cuomo said in the announcement.

When the report was issued I said I believed it was politically motivated and it was, he began. I didn't even know the allegations at that time, right? It was done in a report I didn't even know who the individuals were. Cuomo continued: We then spent five years that report went to five district attorneys all over the state. No one found anything.

A new ad for Cuomo, who is also running for mayor, uses generative video to depict the former governor as a subway operator, stock trader, stagehand, and window washer, as Cuomo narrates, "There are a lot of jobs I can't do, but I'm ready to be your mayor." Adams' use of AI - often campy and memeified - hinted at how the technology could be integrated into politics, Semafor previously wrote.

"We could have done better, and for that, I am truly sorry,"

decades of public service and straight talk.

In a post on his Truth Social page, Trump falsely labeled Mamdani a "communist" and predicted that "he is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City." Trump then elaborated on the "problems" Mamdani would face. "Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises," Trump wrote.

Andrew Cuomo has proven time and again that he's the fighter working people can count on, Gesualdi said. We know as mayor he is ready to deliver again. Andrew Cuomo will keep our union members working, invest in New York's middle class, and will always ensure labor has a seat at the table. The Teamsters don't back down, and neither does Andrew Cuomo.

Every poison has its antidote. The glaring unaffordability of New York City can be confronted by policies that prioritize the needs of working people. The confounding inertia of the Democratic Party can be reversed by bold new progressive leaders. Trump's assault on our freedoms can be resisted by popular movements connected to people where they live. To my view, the mayoral campaign of Zohran Mamdani offers New Yorkers a remarkable, if not unprecedented, opportunity to act on all three of these at once.
