This is our year. This is our time.

What if the algorithm isn't just serving what you like, but shaping what you will like?

So, listen, I think that there's a lot of Republicans that are weighing into this race from afar, saying this is going to be great for the Republican Party to hang it around candidates in purple states later on. But there's people in New York here waking up to, this is really serious. This is a serious moment as you close in on Election Day.

A lot of people are saying if you're in New York, the place to go for solace and peace and the chance- and promise has been Florida. The numbers don't lie. What has his candidacy since he won the nomination, two weeks away from the election, what has it done for Florida real estate? Kilmeade asked.

"He never has had a job. On his resume it said he interned for his mother. This is not a job for a first-timer."

Austin who has been photographed with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the White House Oval Office also urged Republican New Yorkers to back Cuomo as an independent instead of Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, arguing Sliwa was not capable of defeating Mamdani in the race.

That's right - just more than 1 million New Yorkers voted in the primary, out of more than 5 million registered voters. There are about 8.5 million New Yorkers total, which means only one-eighth participated in that election. Of that one-eighth, 573,169 New Yorkers voted for democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani. In other words, he won just 1/16 of the total population of the city.

I will not be a mayor like Mayor [Eric] Adams who will call you to figure out how to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own. I will, however, be a mayor who is ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living. That's the way I'm going to lead this city.

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo lobbed attacks at each other during the first of two general election debates in the New York City mayoral race on Thursday, as Cuomo seeks to chip away at his opponent's comfortable lead. It was the first time the candidates were back on the debate stage since Mayor Eric Adams exited the race in September. Despite the fact that the debate also included Republican Curtis Sliwa, the fighting between the New York State assemblymember and the former New York governor took center stage at the event, which was hosted by NBC 4 New York/WNBC, Telemundo 47/WNJU and Politico.

LeadershipCuomo, who left the New York governor's mansion in August 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations, was quick to attack Mamdani, saying the New York assemblyman's inexperience makes him unfit to oversee a 300,000-employee city workforce and a multi-billion-dollar budget. "This is no job for on-the-job training," he said. "And if you look at the failed mayors they're ones that have no management experience. Don't do it again."

Lamont acknowledged concerns from the finance industry about Mamdani in an interview with Bloomberg Television at the Greenwich Economic Forum. Connecticut serves as a hub to the hedge fund industry and is home to many commuters. "New York City is the financial capital of the world - and we're a big piece of it here," Lamont said. "I want to make sure that the next mayor understands how important New York City is to that system and that's important to Connecticut."

New York's billionaires have been working to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor of New York, and their effort got an unexpected boost when sitting NYC mayor Eric Adams announced that he would drop out of the race. Now the field has narrowed to Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa. (In a fun twist that will surely not confuse voters, Adams's name will still appear on the ballot in November.) According to the Mamdani campaign- and political strategists-Adams dropping out changes nothing: The democratic socialist is still going to trounce the former governor in the general election, just like he did during the primaries. Yet wealthy New Yorkers are cheering the news-and seeing a path to victory for their candidate of choice (which, sorry to the Cat Daddy of New York politics, is not Curtis Sliwa).
