This debate at John Jay in Hell’s Kitchen has an audience — ā€œmy parents are going to be here!… I grew up watching NY1,ā€ Zellnor Myrie says. ā€œWe’ve got to have a contrast of people’s records … Every opportunity I get to make that contrast, you better believe I’m gonna do it.ā€

Zohran Mamdani comes in, once again accompanied by the Horns for Zohran band. Some Cuomo interns join in - maybe to mess with him and gets signs in the shot… or maybe out of genuine affection??

Trump ā€œhas declared war on immigrants,ā€ Cuomo says. ā€œIt is out of control… it is authoritarianism like we’ve never seen before. He did it in LA, he’s going to do it in New York and cities across the nation.ā€

We’re not going to beat Trump ā€œwith hashtags and headlines stunts. We need delivery over dogma,ā€ Jessica Ramos says endorsing Andrew Cuomo. She’s making very clear that this endorsement is about making sure Zohran Mamdani doesn’t win.
