Did anyone watch the New York City mayor's debate? I saw the rerun later, and it's clear to me that Mamdani is one step closer to winning the election. Let's check this from Newsweek:
On Thursday before the debate, Betfair gave Mamdani a 90 percent chance of victory, but this dropped to an 88 percent chance once it was complete.
Over the same period, Cuomo saw his chances of victory improve from 11 percent to 12 percent.
However, prior to the debate, bookmaker Star Sports gave Mamdani an 80 percent chance of victory, which improved in the immediate aftermath of the debate to 93.3 percent.
During Thursday’s debate, the three candidates clashed over a range of topics, including crime, transportation, housing and the recent Gaza ceasefire deal negotiated by President Donald Trump.
Mamdani said he was someone “who has actually paid rent in the city” and “who has had to wait for a bus that never came, someone who actually buys his groceries in this city.”
Cuomo responded, “What the assemblyman said is he has no experience,” also commenting: “If you look at the failed mayors, they’re ones that have no management experience.”
There you have it. He waited two hours for a bus and that makes him uniquely qualified to be the mayor of the largest city in the Union. Why didn't someone come up with that campaign theme before?
Watching these three men confirms everything that is wrong with New York City. First, the opposition is so weak that a disgraced former governor and a local activist are running against Mamdani. No wonder he is winning. Second, the GOP is so screwed up in New York City that they don't have anyone to put up. Hard to believe that the GOP bench is that weak or bad.

There is a silver lining to a Mamdani victory. He will be the face of the Democrat Party as soon as the networks call the race. Mamdani will be the one going on the Sunday shows at the same time that party leaders will be staying away from him. He will excite the Left and make it more likely that it's time to "primary" more of the centrists.
Mamdani will fail and embolden the crazies. That's good news for us and all those states that see U-Haul trucks crossing their border the next 4 years.
Excellent! I want him to win so bad.
I live in Westchester county and i hope ayatollah mandami wins!!! NYChitty is a left wing craphole and this will be the final nail in the coffin of not only NYChitty but progressivism...it will also help turn NY red, or at least redder....western Queens and eastern LI has been turning red....except for a few areas north of Westchester the rest of NY is red....Buffalo is starting to turn red thanks in part to the disaster that is hochul...
and, oh yeh- once ayatollah mandami is elected, our property values will sky rocket...
Feeling pretty safe across the country eh?
East Berlin 2.0
Smile like Huey long and promise everything. Winner every time.
What percentage of the Jews will vote for him?
-asking for a friend. Yeah right.
who has had to wait for a bus that never came
Have mercy!
Thiose people who live in New York City and Minneapolis, are so screwed.
Endless increases in taxes to pay for endless perversion, laziness, and just plain theft.
Only a fool would remain, unless, of course, you were profiting from all the wonderful Socialism.
He will fail and you watch how ghe democrats and their media effectively blame Trump and maga
Giuliani brought prosperity, law and order. The broken windows policy. They hated him.
Hopefully a high-profile lefty like Mamdani will encourage all of the illegal aliens in this country to move to New York City - that would at least limit the potential damage to the rest of the country. And the great social experiment would be right next to the network studios so they can see up close and personal how it's working.
Snake Plisken is in their future.
This is NYChitty- whatever the betting line is on Jews from NYChitty voting for ayatollah mandani, take the over....
Every time he opens his mouth he decimates himself except with dirtbag New Yorkers who deserve the future they will vote for.
From your lips to God’s ear
I wonder why we don't think they'll just exit NYC city limits. The state and proximity to "THE city" must have some appeal.
Oh, I saw Cuomo on Fox this morning talking about how he intends to woo those who have already left to return because he loves capitalism. Lol. I remember him sniggering "good riddance" to Rush.
Nobody touched Mamdani in the debate
Ok. Um. What are they in the “race” for? To enable him?
WON’T TAKE 4 YEARS...

Just like the North in general, as Randy Newman pointed out in “Rednecks”:
Now, your northern n_____’s a Negro
You see, he’s got his dignity
Down here, we too ignorant to realize
The North has set the n____ free
Yes, he’s free to be put in a cage in Harlem in New York City
And he’s free to be put in a cage on the south side of Chicago
And the west side
And he’s free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
And he’s free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
And he’s free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
And he’s free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They’re gatherin’ ‘em up from miles around
Keepin’ the n______s down
