Cuomo and others take aim at Zohran Mamdani in heated NYC mayoral debate

  • On June 12, 2025, former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani clashed in the final New York City Democratic mayoral debate at John Jay College.
  • The debate followed a competitive primary season marked by Cuomo's 2021 resignation amid sexual harassment allegations and Mamdani's rise as a progressive challenger focused on affordability.
  • Cuomo portrayed Mamdani as inexperienced and reckless while Mamdani criticized Cuomo's ethics and response to scandals, with both candidates exchanging sharp attacks on policies and character.
  • Polls showed a close race, with a Wednesday night poll indicating Mamdani leading Cuomo, though another poll showed Cuomo maintaining a double-digit lead, reflecting an uncertain contest.
  • The debate intensified scrutiny on both frontrunners ahead of early voting starting June 14 and the primary on June 24, suggesting the race remained deeply competitive with major policy and character issues at stake.
