The 2025 New York City mayoral race has turned explosive as former Governor Andrew Cuomo and progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani clash over a controversial 9/11 remark. Mamdani, known for his advocacy on social justice and housing reforms, faced sharp criticism following Cuomo’s hypothetical question about handling a 9/11-style attack. The exchange has reignited discussions on Islamophobia, identity politics, and the direction of America’s biggest city.
