New York City’s mayoral candidates faced off Thursday evening in their first debate ahead of the November 4 election. Here’s New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani going after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran Mamdani: “What New Yorkers need is a mayor who can stand up to Donald Trump and actually deliver on that safety. When Donald Trump sent ICE agents on people in Los Angeles, Andrew Cuomo said that New Yorkers need not overreact. That is the furthest answer that New Yorkers are looking for. They are looking for someone who will lead, someone who will say that they will have their back, someone who will actually fight for the people of this city. And that’s who I am, because I’m not funded by the same donors that gave us Donald Trump’s second term, which isn’t something that Andrew Cuomo can say.”
