Democratic mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani landed many pointed body blows against Andrew Cuomo during the candidates’ debate rematch on Thursday, according to New Tork Times.
“I have never had to resign in disgrace,” Mamdani said.
He harshly criticized Cuomo over the former governor’s record and consequences of his involvement in sexual harassment scandal.
“I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA and I have never hounded the 13 women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records. And I have never done those things because I am not you, Mr. Cuomo,” Mamdani added.

Moreover, he corrected Cuomo’s repeated mispronunciation of “Mamdani,” and rhymed with “mom.”
“The name is Mamdani, M, A, M, D, A, N, I. You should learn how to say it, because we’ve got to get it right,” he said.
Overall, the first debate was greatly characterized by Democratic candidates’ attacks against Cuomo, who has been gaining most polls before the June 24 primary.
