The most populated city in the United States might also have the most polarizing mayoral race of any other. The New York City mayoral race features a disgraced former governor, a surging socialist, an incumbent with his own legal troubles, and other heavy hitters.

Two main targets emerged by the end of the two-hour New York City mayoral debate: Frontrunner Andrew Cuomo and Donald Trump. Cuomo’s eight opponents — desperate to cut into his consistent polling advantage — attacked him throughout Wednesday night by seizing on the controversies that preceded his fall from power four years ago: Allegations of sexual harassment and a Covid record that’s reportedly under federal investigation.
