The New York Times editorial board sparked discussion with their non-endorsement in the New York City mayoral race, advising voters to avoid the leading progressive candidate. The editorial paints a gloomy picture of the city's current state, reminiscent of the 1970s, with rising crime and housing issues. It critically assesses former Mayor Bill de Blasio for contributing to the city’s problems and expresses concern about the approach of various progressive mayors across the nation, urging voters to consider the dire implications of their choices in the primary.
