N.Y.C. Mayoral Candidates Deliver Final Appeals Before Election

On Monday, New York City’s three mayoral candidates made a final attempt to drum up support from voters the day before the election. Over 735,000 people have already voted early, more than four times the amount over the same period of time in 2021, according to the Board of Elections.

“Cuomo, Cuomo.” “Zohran, Zohran.” “We need to get the vote. Tomorrow’s the last day.” “We have not only come so far, we stand on the verge of ushering in a new day for our city.” “I plan to vote for Zohran Mamdani because I believe in his message of affordability for New Yorkers. We make good livings, and yet it’s still a struggle to have two children in this city. Between daycare costs, rent, price of groceries and myriad other factors, we still don’t feel comfortable.” Chanting: “Andrew Cuomo.” “I kind of trust him, and I trust the work that he’s done in the past. I’m just comfortable with Andrew Cuomo. I liked him as governor. During Covid, I believe that he was able to handle Covid pretty well.” “Sliwa, he’s like, he’s the man’s man. He’s been around forever. He’s got street smarts. He’s got book smarts. He’s accomplished a lot. He’s got common sense and he’s got grit — like old New York.”
