The New York City mayoral debate just wrapped, and the stakes couldn't be higher in a race the whole country is watching. Join Rita Cosby as she and her callers break down the final debate before election day, focusing on the current frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani. We analyze Mamdani's controversial proposal to send social workers instead of police officers to mental distress calls, a policy described by the host as "dangerous and often deadly". Discover the serious concerns that Mamdani, who was called an "unaccomplished" former rapper and Queens councilman, will allow protesters to "destroy New York". Listen to the heated exchanges, including Andrew Cuomo going after Mandani, and Curtis Sliwa comparing Mamdani’s resume to a cocktail napkin. With the anti-Mamdani vote currently split and Mamdani "handily ahead" in the polls, the question remains: Can the race dynamics change in time to prevent Mamdani, who critics fear is anti-Semitic and a socialist, from leading the city? The future of New York is on the line.
