Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani said on Friday he feels the first general election mayoral debate the night before “went well” for him.
Mamdani, a democratic socialist Assembly member from Queens, appeared prepared for most of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa’s attack lines on subjects including his experience level and Israel, while constantly shifting the focus back to his core campaign issue: affordability.
