"On Thursday October 16, New Yorkers and people across the country who have been watching the city's mayoral race will tune in as Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa face off in the first of two mayoral debates, ahead of New York City's upcoming election on November 4. The debate is set to take place in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center starting at 7:00 p.m. ET this evening."
"Mamdani is running on a platform that addresses some of the key economic problems plaguing Trump's second term: high inflation, the soaring cost of living, and high housing prices. Mamdani wants to lower housing costs in New York City by freezing rent, building more affordable housing, and holding bad landlords accountable. He also wants to tackle rising food prices with a network of city-owned grocery stores."
The televised debate at Rockefeller Center will feature Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo running as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa ahead of the November 4 mayoral election. NBC 4 New York/WNBC, Telemundo 47/WNJU, and POLITICO New York are hosting the event. Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist and state assemblyman, holds a double-digit lead in polls after clinching the nomination in June. Mamdani's platform targets economic pressures including high inflation, cost of living, and housing costs through rent freezes, affordable housing construction, landlord accountability, and city-owned grocery stores.
