New York City's mayoral candidates made a final push across the city, crisscrossing neighborhoods in a last-ditch effort to energize supporters and sway undecided voters ahead of Tuesday's election. At the forefront is Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee who has built a commanding lead with his affordability-focused campaign.
Mamdani kicked off his day by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise, joined by notable figures such as State Assembly member Letitia James, Comptroller Brad Lander, and several city lawmakers. His morning started on high note, but things would only get more heated in the days to come.
Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo, the former governor who's running as an independent, continued his campaign efforts with a visit to the Bronx and Brooklyn, where he made stops at churches, cafes, and community parades. The 64-year-old Cuomo is seeking to regain his footing after a tumultuous tenure marked by allegations of sexual harassment.
Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate, rounded out the field, meeting with supporters in Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn. While trailing behind Mamdani and Cuomo, Sliwa remains a dark horse, boasting an unconventional approach to crime prevention through his Guardian Angels organization.
As voters prepare to head to the polls on Tuesday, early voting records are shattered, with over 735,000 ballots cast ahead of election day – more than four times the number from 2021. Donald Trump's endorsement of Cuomo may have thrown Mamdani off balance, but the young Democratic nominee remains resolute.
The final showdown between Mamdani and Cuomo has taken a partisan turn, with each candidate trading barbs on their respective records, qualifications, and visions for the city. Cuomo has labeled Mamdani an "extremist" and warned that New York won't survive under his leadership, but Mamdani's campaign sees this as a desperate attempt to cling to power.
With only one day left before election day, the stakes are high in New York City.

- he's got the people on his side and that affordability-focused campaign is resonating with voters big time 
Andrew Cuomo's trying to come at him with those partisan shots, but Mamdani's not having it 
. The thing is, Cuomo's got some baggage and this election's all about change 
.
- the young guy's got his feet on the ground and a solid plan in place 
. Curtis Sliwa's weird vibe is still kinda captivating, but he's gotta bring more than just some Guardian Angels energy to take down these heavy hitters 
.
- the polls are lit 
. Whoever takes office is gonna have their hands full, but I'm rooting for Zohran Mamdani to make a difference 
... I mean, can you imagine having to deal with his drama and allegations of harassment? It's like, dude, just own up to it and move on already 
. And Mamdani seems like a breath of fresh air, focusing on affordability and making the city more livable for everyone 
.
... can't help but think, how many ppl have already voted? feels like it's gonna be a close one between Mamdani & Cuomo 
... don't know what to make of Sliwa's plans, Guardian Angels seems interesting tho 
... either way, gotta trust the ppl to make their own decisions 
it's like the whole city is buzzing with energy! I've been following Zohran Mamdani's campaign and I gotta say, his affordability-focused platform really resonates with me 
as a student living in NYC, it feels like he's speaking directly to my wallet. And can we talk about Andrew Cuomo's visit to the Bronx? 
Curtis Sliwa is definitely a wild card in this election 
anyone got a clue what his chances are?! 
over 735k ballots cast already? that's crazy 
. PLUS, HE HAS SOME REALLY STRONG IDEAS ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND EDUCATION, WHICH I THINK WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE CITY 
. DON'T GET ME WRONG, CUOMO'S GOT HIS MOMENTS TOO, BUT MAMDANI SEEMS LIKE A TRULY LEADER 
️ Both Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo are going all out to win. It's like they're trying to out- visual each other 
.
. And then there's Curtis Sliwa, the dark horse candidate who's trying to shake things up with his Guardian Angels approach 
.
.
! Who do you think's gonna take home the prize? 
.
.
. Meanwhile, Sliwa's unorthodox methods might resonate with people who feel like they've been left behind 
.
. It's gonna be a long night either way, but I hope whoever wins is ready to work for all New Yorkers 
but u know what really takes the cake? cuomo trying to label mamdani an "extremist" 
zohran mamdani's affordability-focused campaign is really resonating with people, and he's got a commanding lead going into the final stretch 
️
but you have to give it to mamdani - he's staying calm and collected despite all the drama 
early voting records are shattered, which is a good sign for voter turnout - fingers crossed everyone shows up at the polls tomorrow 
. Can't help but feel like this whole thing is gonna be a real nail-biter come Tuesday 
. Bring it on!
