New York City's mayoral candidates have duked it out in their first general election debate, with contenders Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa sparring over everything from the Israel-Hamas war to the city's education system.

Sliwa said he was offered $10 million to drop out, adding that “Eric got the same offer,” referring to Mayor Eric Adams.

The Republican mayoral candidate tells Fox News Digital that New York City is “locking up toothpaste instead of criminals" and losing its best and brightest to low-tax states.

A New York political strategist with a history of working for both Democrats and Republicans has launched a super PAC to boost GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa’s campaign in the final weeks of this year’s heated race for City Hall.
