Election season in New York: The campaign trail heats up

With the June primary about seven weeks away, the campaign trail in the race for mayor is heating up with new ads and policy proposals. Andrew Cuomo released his mental health plan and announced plans to run on a third-party ballot line this November, while Zohran Mamdani rallied with hundreds of supporters in Brooklyn and Brad Lander released his first campaign ad of the cycle. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Ayanna Harry break down the latest developments in the crowded race. After that, the "Off Topic" team continues its weekly series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. This week's installment finds them discussing the candidacy of City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, who promised to shake up the race when she announced her campaign in March.
