'Anyone's race': The debate that could decide New York's next mayor
PoliticoNEW YORK — New York City’s eight leading mayoral candidates will take the stage Wednesday night in the last debate of the primary — and with less than a week until election day, none can claim to be the undisputed front-runner.
But a few hope to be, by the end of the night.
The in-person debate, sponsored by POLITICO, WNBC and Telemundo 47, will feature eight Democrats facing off for the fourth and final time ahead of the June 22 primary. Kathryn Garcia and Maya Wiley have surged in recent polls. Andrew Yang lost his front-runner status weeks ago, though the enthusiasm around his candidacy remains strong.
Eric Adams, who has faced national scrutiny over the past week about his confusing living arrangements, remains the man to beat — and the likely target of heavy fire Wednesday night.
