Who won final NYC mayoral debate? Cuomo gets an A and Mamdani barely makes the grade: experts

Andrew Cuomo was the winner of the final New York City mayoral election debate — passing with flying colors as front-runner Zohran Mamdani barely made the grade, a Post panel of political experts said.

Mamdani, the lefty Democratic nominee, was left sweating on stage Wednesday night as he took big hits from independent hopeful Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, making a poor showing with less than two weeks before the election.

“Cuomo won the debate,” Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist University Institute for Public Opinion, said of the 90-minute slugfest hosted by Spectrum NY1.
