00:00New York City voters are set to elect a new mayor, with Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani leading the polls against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
00:11Mamdani, who defeated Cuomo in the Democratic primary, has proposed policies such as freezing rent on stabilized apartments and creating city-owned grocery stores, which have drawn significant opposition from business interests.
00:24Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations, is focusing on public safety, while Sliwa is emphasizing the need for more police officers.
00:36The election follows a withdrawal of scandal-plagued Mayor Eric Adams, who endorsed Cuomo despite previously criticizing him.
