"Zohran Mamdani's dithering performance in the final mayoral debate pointed up the ongoing problem with his campaign. It's a house of cards built on sound bites and laced with antisemitism. But he stumbles and dodges when asked to venture beyond his surface-level focus on affordability and his four, and only four, narrow planks: child care, buses, rent, and grocery stores."
"While Andrew Cuomo has plenty of well-documented flaws, including those that drove him from the governor's mansion in 2021, a decade as governor proves that he is a competent executive and could well do the job of running the city government. He knows which issues matter to New Yorkers and how to act on them. Mamdani, with no experience running anything, offers no such assurance. The Daily News, therefore, endorses Cuomo to be the next mayor of New York."
Zohran Mamdani's debate performance revealed evasiveness and reliance on brief slogans and four narrow policy planks: child care, buses, rent, and grocery stores. His campaign is a house of cards with elements of antisemitism woven into its rhetoric. Mamdani lacks executive experience and repeatedly dodges questions about implementation and funding. His proposals hinge on state-level tax increases that are unlikely in Albany, rendering his programs financially unrealistic and potentially unfulfilled. Andrew Cuomo has a decade as governor and demonstrated executive competence to run city government despite past controversies.
