Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo faced off in the first New York City mayoral debate, exposing a generational divide within the Democratic Party. Cuomo emphasized his long résumé and argued the mayoralty is not a job for on-the-job training, portraying Mamdani as a political novice. Mamdani, 34, countered that he compensates for limited experience with integrity and criticized Cuomo's record. Cuomo is running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani, who has led general-election polls by double digits. Cuomo resigned as governor in 2021 amid a sexual misconduct scandal he denies, and analysts say many young voters view him as part of the establishment.
