NYC Mayoral Race Heats Up: Adams, Cuomo, and Sliwa's Weekend Strategies

With Election Day approaching, the race for NYC mayor is intensifying. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo all engaged in weekend campaigning, while frontrunner Zohran Mamdani had no public events scheduled.

Adams Focuses on Health and Wellness

Mayor Adams addressed the Indian community at a health and wellness event in Queens. He acknowledged biased media coverage and expressed his commitment to staying focused on the race, even considering the possibility of a one-term mayoralty based on his own polling data. He concluded by stating that he is "at peace with whatever the people of this city determine".

Cuomo Highlights NYC's Challenges

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo attended church services and criticized the city's current state, highlighting the exodus of 1.5 million people since COVID-19, primarily due to the high cost of living. Critics counter that this exodus partially occurred during his governorship.

Sliwa Expands His Reach in Brooklyn

Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa opened a new Brooklyn office, aiming to improve his standing in the race. He focused his campaign on crime and public safety, affordability, and fighting for the working class against what he perceives as billionaire advantages.
