As the New York City mayoral election quickly approaches, New Yorkers are sounding off on the human toll that sanctuary policies have had on their city.

NEW YORK -- NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's mayoral candidates are set to meet for their final debate Wednesday night, with Democrat Zohran Mamdani looking to stay in control of a race increasingly seen as his to win while former Gov. Andrew Cuomo amps up the pressure on Republican Curtis Sliwa to drop out.

Mamdani's comments have intensified debate within the Democratic Party and among Jewish communities as Election Day approaches.

If Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor and implements the changes he is promising, expect the city's financial condition and public safety to deteriorate

The Democratic candidate in the New York City mayoral race will need billions of dollars to fund campaign pledges such as free child care and buses.

Newcomer Zohran Mamdani, age 34, has used social media and big progressive ideas to shoulder past Andrew Cuomo, who's 67 and long a member of Democratic Party royalty.

“I’m in it to win it,” Sliwa, donning his trademark red beret, told reporters during morning rush hour on Oct. 21, outside a subway station near his home on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. His wife stood by him as straphangers both jeered and applauded.

Mamdani’s campaign promises require significant help, but expect him to have wide political will if victorious, one analyst said.

Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani unveiled a vague new proposal Tuesday to cut waste at the city Department of Education — just days after announcing a $12 million teacher hiring scheme.

During Diwali outreach in Queens, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reiterated his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying his views reflect an India that celebrates pluralism.
