How to Watch the Debate Rematch Between Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa
The New York Times
Eric Adams, the Democratic mayoral nominee, largely ignored attack lines from Curtis Sliwa, his Republican rival, in last week’s debate. They meet again tonight.
With just a week left until Election Day, the Democratic and Republican nominees for mayor of New York City will square off for the final time on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the second of two televised debates.
Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president and Democratic nominee, remains the overwhelming favorite and could soon emerge as the second Black mayor in the city’s history. So confident is Mr. Adams in his chances of carrying the overwhelmingly Democratic city on Nov. 2 that he has already started building a transition team and vetting candidates for top government jobs.
His Republican opponent, Curtis Sliwa, will be trying to increase his odds on Tuesday, taking one last shot at knocking Mr. Adams off his glide path to City Hall. But so far, Mr. Sliwa, the flamboyant founder of the Guardian Angels patrol group and longtime media personality, has failed to break through to voters with a populist platform focused on public safety, animal rights and the plight of New York City’s homeless population.
