“Let’s make sure that Andrew Como does not get anywhere near the city hall,” the Democratic candidate and New York City Monitor, Brad Landro Radio WNYC, who had an interview with all the main candidates before the preliminary elections on Tuesday.
“We need a new leadership, and we need to turn the page and we need bold solutions at this moment,” Zelinor Miri, a Senate member of New York State and his rival in Komo.
Michael Blake, a former New York legislator, sought to remove voters from Komo, he told WNYC: “You don’t have to return to the name Andrew Como,” adding that the time has come to move from the former ruler.
Lander, Miri and Blake’s comments came after Mamdani seemed to advance to Komo in a new survey from the Emerson College poll, which is widely considered one of the most opinion polls.
The poll found that Komo is still leading the package, as it recorded 35 percent of support compared to 32 percent of Mamdani, which is within the margin of error in the survey.
But when voters were asked to classify up to five candidates according to the preference ranking, Mamdani advanced forward with 52 percent support, while Komo ranked second by 48 percent. The results were identified after eight rounds of voting on the selection of the simulated rank.
Rich Azobardi, Como’s spokesperson, He said Newsweek The Emerson poll was “externally”.
“Every other reliable poll showed in these elections, including two issued last week, the ruler Como with a double -number progress, which is exactly the place where these elections will end tomorrow. From time to time, we will continue to struggle for every vote as he will fight for every New Yorker as a mayor.”
On Monday, Mamdani told Mamdani that he believed that it was “one day of prolonging a political dynasty,” referring to Komo. Before he was a ruler, his father, Mario Komo, served the position of New York Governor for three periods, from 1983 to 1994.
“New York residents have ended with satirical policy in the past,” Mamdani, who has approved him in the race by the progressive Darling, including the representative of the United States in New York Alexandria Okasio Cortez And the Senator Fairmont Bernie SandersTell WNYC. “They want a future that they can bear.”
Como returned to his most heavy opponent, and told the station that Mamdani “about public relations” and lacks the skills and experience needed to be the mayor of New York.

Sanders officially supported Mamdani on Tuesday, where he wrote on X and Twitter previously: “At this dangerous moment in history, the current situation policy is not good enough. We need a new leadership ready to determine the interests of strong companies and fight for the working class. Zohrankmamdani It is to provide that vision.

What happens after that
Voters in New York City will polls on Tuesday, but there is uncertainty about whether the wild heat wave can affect the demand for the initial elections.
