I remember Sliwa from years ago when he founded a group that rode New York subways as voluntary passenger protectors, The Guardian Angels.Zohran Mamdani did not make any major or minor mistakes. He was calm, smiled and made his points over attacks from rivals Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
Mamdani dominated most of the two-hour debate against his more experienced opponents. His performance was miles better than what he turned in earlier this year during the primary campaign, where he often appeared less confident or flustered.

Long-shot Republican Sliwa brought bravado to the forum, yet he at times came across as too mayoral and a bit staid — even if social media fell in love with his thick New York accent.

You bet your bippy I'm old. Power to the people, right on!Sliwa and Cuomo are also old. That may be a problem.
Sorry, I got sidetracked.
Voters remain deeply concerned about the cost of living in expensive New York, and Mamdani has harnessed this issue of the political age. He stayed on message throughout the debate — even at the end by declaring he’s more concerned about affordability than in weighing in on the Christopher Columbus statue.
Hammering those affordability points with an affable, calm demeanor against his opponents came through in the first general election debate. It served Mamdani well.
