New York City's Mayoral Candidates Make Final Push Before Election
In the final hours leading up to Tuesday's highly anticipated mayoral election, candidates Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo made their last-minute efforts across the city. Mamdani, a Democratic nominee from Queens, maintained his commanding lead in the polls, with many showing him ahead by double digits.
The 34-year-old Mamdani kicked off Monday's campaigning with a sunrise walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, joined by state Attorney General Letitia James and several other lawmakers and supporters. He later addressed a news conference at City Hall, calling on New Yorkers to usher in "a new day" for their city. His campaign then shifted gears as he prepared to canvass Astoria, Queens, with volunteers.
Meanwhile, Cuomo, the former Democratic governor running as an independent, embarked on a similar schedule of events, including interviews and campaign stops across all five boroughs. Sliwa, the Republican candidate, spent his day meeting supporters in Manhattan's streets and campaigning in Queens, Staten Island, and South Brooklyn.
As the stakes grow higher, Cuomo unexpectedly endorsed Trump, saying "It's going to be hard for me as president...to give a lot of money to New York." Mamdani responded with a scathing remark on social media: "Trump endorses Cuomo! Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo. I know how hard you worked for this."
Throughout the campaign, Mamdani and Cuomo have clashed over their respective records, qualifications, ideologies, and visions for the city. Mamdani has accused Cuomo of being beholden to wealthy donors, while Cuomo has labeled Mamdani as "inexperienced" and warned that New York will "not survive" under his leadership.
Polling stations remain open until 9 pm ET on Tuesday, marking a pivotal moment in the mayoral election that could have significant implications for the Democratic party and next year's midterm elections.

So Cuomo just endorsed Trump? Like what was he thinking? He knows full well how NY is all about progressive politics, right? Cuomo has been playing it cool this whole campaign, but to just turn around and endorse Trump? It's gonna hurt him so bad in the polls! Mamdani's gonna be like "I told you so" on social media. 
And btw, Cuomo saying Mamdani is inexperienced? That's rich coming from a guy who was governor for 8 years. I don't think that's gonna fly with voters. This endorsement is just gonna sink him.
i mean if you endorse trump in this city u might as well be endorsing a dictator Andrew Cuomo should know better 
34 and already causing drama i cant wait to see what the future holds for nyc mamdani or cuomo lol either way its gonna be interesting to watch how it all goes down on tuesday 
He also got an extra boost from the recent high-profile endorsements, like Letitia James & Nancy Pelosi 
His campaign is doing a solid 7.5M social media impressions on Instagram since the debate in Oct last year 
What about Cuomo's unexpected Trump endorsement? The numbers are saying he's lost ground by 3-4% among undecided voters 
! Both Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo are giving it their all, and I love how passionate they're being about their visions for NYC. Mamdani's energy is infectious - that sunrise walk across the Brooklyn Bridge was EVERYTHING 
. And Cuomo's been playing hardball, but his endorsement of Trump has me wondering if he's really ready for this 
. It'll be interesting to see who New Yorkers choose to lead the city forward. Either way, it's gonna be a wild ride! 
, but this whole Trump endorsement thing...
is like a plot twist from a movie. Cuomo seems to be getting desperate 
Like, what's gonna be done about affordable housing and transportation? Those are the things that matter to everyday New Yorkers.
