The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 10-22-25

The final New York City mayoral debate was one for the record books! Join Rita Cosby for immediate analysis on the pivotal confrontation between frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and challengers Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani, who holds a double-digit lead, was exposed as potentially an "empty suit" with "very dangerous ideas" when challenged on his affiliations with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and his stance on crime. Cuomo, positioning himself as the voice of experience, hammered Mamdani on public safety, contrasting Mamdani's plan to send social workers to potential crime scenes with his own promise to hire 5,000 new cops. Did tonight change the dial, or is New York City heading toward the abyss.
