New York City’s mayoral candidates are making a final push to get voters to the polls as the race to lead America’s biggest city nears its finale. Ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa have all spent the race’s final stretch frenetically campaigning across the city’s five boroughs as they make their case to succeed outgoing Mayor Eric Adams. In recent days, Mamdani went dancing with seniors in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Cuomo dined in the Eastern European enclave of Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, and Sliwa went to a mosque in the Bronx.
