The first televised mayoral debate occurred ahead of the New York primary, featuring nine Democratic candidates including former Governor Cuomo and City Council Speaker Adams. The event was marked by contentious exchanges, primarily targeting Trump and Cuomo's controversial pasts. Candidates, particularly Lander and Mamdani, challenged Cuomo's record, and the discussion covered pressing issues like housing and education reforms. The debate's intensity showcased candidates' unique approaches and strategies, notably Mamdani's contrasting stance on progressivism, and set the stage for the upcoming primary.
"…all of the candidates said they would stand up to Trump, but Cuomo delivered the best zinger against Mandani when he said 'Donald Trump will go through Mamdani like a hot knife through butter.'"},{
