The New York City mayoral debate went by largely without incident, ending hopes from Zohran Mamdani’s opponents of a major gaffe that could dent his campaign momentum.

The latest major Fox News poll , conducted Oct. 3–7 and released right before the debate, showed Mamdani with the backing of 46% of likely voters, trailed by Andrew Cuomo with 33% of the vote. Political analysts saw the debate as Cuomo’s last chance to make a comeback and cut down Mamdani’s lead. While Cuomo didn’t disappoint with his debate performance, neither did Mamdani, stripping his opponents of their hopes to catch up before voting next month.
