Cuomo narrows gap in new poll
Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has maintained a double-digit lead in a new poll — but Andrew Cuomo has narrowed the gap significantly.
The mayoral race has gained national prominence as more Democratic leaders have tossed their fortunes behind the socialist and extremist candidate, while Cuomo has tried to shore up the centrist vote.
‘You don’t know how to run a government, you don’t know how to handle an emergency, and you’ve literally never proposed a bill on anything that you’re now talking about.’
A Suffolk poll released Monday showed that Mamdani’s lead of 20 percentage points from September had shrunk to 10 points.
Mamdani had support from 44% of the respondents, while Cuomo had 34%. Outsider Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa also increased his support slightly from 9% to 11%.
Suffolk’s political research center director David Paleologos said that Cuomo had made the biggest gains with Hispanics and independents.
Cuomo went on the attack against Mamdani’s extremism and inexperience in their recent debate, which will be the last of the election. Mamdani fired back to paint Cuomo as the face of failed policies of the establishment party.
“You have never had a job. You’ve never accomplished anything!” said Cuomo at the debate.
“There is no reason to believe you have any merit or qualification for eight and a half million lives!” he added. “You don’t know how to run a government, you don’t know how to handle an emergency, and you’ve literally never proposed a bill on anything that you’re now talking about in your campaign!”

Many have been calling on Sliwa to drop out in hopes that his supporters would mostly go to Cuomo, and the Suffolk poll appeared to support that thesis. It showed that far more Sliwa voters supported Cuomo as a second choice than those who supported Mamdani.
Mamdani would become the first Muslim mayor of the Big Apple if he is able to win the election. He was born in Kampala, Uganda.

DHS: Nancy Pelosi is ‘putting a target on the backs’ of federal agents with arrest threats
The Department of Homeland Security fired back at former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after she and other California Democrats laid out plans for the arrest of federal immigration agents for supposed violations of state laws.
Brooke Jenkins, the San Francisco district attorney, said her office already has plans to arrest federal agents should they use force in her city as they did during violent protests and riots in Los Angeles and Chicago. Jenkins explained the San Francisco Police Department is on board with the idea in cases of “clear, excessive use of force.”
‘If politicians and activists don’t like the law, they should try to change it instead of demonizing our brave men and women in uniform.’
DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin called the plans “gross” in a statement to Blaze News, adding, “America’s brave ICE and Border Patrol agents put their lives on the line every day to enforce U.S. law and arrest the worst of the worst — including gang members, rapists, and murderers.”

“From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi gestapo to glorifying rioters, the vilification of ICE must stop. Nancy Pelosi’s rhetoric is putting a target on the backs of federal law enforcement officers who are already facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them. Our law enforcement is ENFORCING federal law — if politicians and activists don’t like the law, they should try to change it instead of demonizing our brave men and women in uniform,” McLaughlin added.
The Department of Justice sent a letter to Pelosi and Jenkins warning them that their plans violate federal law and that there will be consequences should any state or local police arrest federal agents while lawfully carrying out their duties.
The heightened threat level DHS personnel are facing was realized in the San Francisco Bay last week after a driver apparently attempted to ram a U-Haul truck into a checkpoint at Coast Guard Island Alameda. Coast Guard security personnel shot at the suspect after he did not listen to verbal commands to stop.
“The truck driver was wounded in the stomach and is being held for mental health evaluation. A bystander was struck by a fragment, treated at a local hospital, and released,” DHS said about the shooting.
Anti-ICE attackers have increasingly used vehicles to allegedly ram federal agents’ vehicles or block their path on the road during operations. Attacks in that fashion have taken place in cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles.
