Cuomo continues to spar with New York City mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani, as alliances shift and scandal swirls in the race for the city that never sleeps.

NYC's mayoral debate turned nasty from the jump as Democratic Party nominee Zohran Mamdani and Independent candidate Andrew Cuomo traded jabs

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and former New York Governor and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo argued quite viciously over the course of their 95-minute tête-à-tête. Republican Curtis Sliwa was also there (and he was so funny ).

To Mamdani, the case has become a litmus test in the campaign -- one that weighs directly on the ability of the next mayor to stand up to President Trump.

In his cynical campaign for mayor, the former New York governor touted the decades he spent in power. That was part of the problem.
