As the clock ticks down to Election Day on Tuesday, New York City's mayoral candidates ramp up their final campaign efforts. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, alongside former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, are traversing the five boroughs, making last-minute appeals to voters.
Mamdani, who could become the city’s first Muslim mayor, is rallying support with a focus on creating a more affordable New York. In recent days, he has danced with seniors on the Lower East Side and produced viral social media content to galvanize his base, urging them not to become complacent.
Cuomo, an independent candidate after resigning amidst sexual harassment allegations, is courting a centrist vote, attempting to portray himself as the candidate capable of preventing Mamdani's victory. He has shifted his campaigning approach to appeal to Republican voters.
On the other hand, Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels, is emphasizing public safety and engaging directly with voters in his traditional red beret, seeking to disrupt both major party candidates' ambitions.
In this heated race, political tensions run high as the candidates capitalize on the final moments to secure crucial voter turnout ahead of the pivotal election.
