The final New York City mayoral debate was Zohran Mamdani's to lose. The Democratic nominee had a great first debate, is polling ahead of independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and is widely considered to be the future mayor of New York City. Yet Mamdani, a state legislator, failed to answer some important questions in the Oct. 22 debate on ballot measures and public schooling, underscoring concerns about his experience level. It wasn't that he performed poorly; he just wasn't as strong as I had hoped he'd be. Despite this, I still believe he's the best candidate in the race.
