Description

New York City’s three mayoral candidates, Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa faced off last night in the first of two general election debates, sparring over their experience, the city’s affordability crisis, and how they’d work with President Trump. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has ordered the city to halt work on a new 34th Street busway, warning it could withhold funding for other projects if New York doesn’t comply. Finally, WNYC’s Brigid Bergin joins us with a recap of the mayoral debate.
