Cuomo's PAC Attacks

A super PAC backing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo aired an ad targeting Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee.
The ad uses footage of the 9/11 attacks and cites Hasan Piker, who said 'America deserved 9/11'.
Opponents say Mamdani's association with Piker makes him unsuitable for mayor.
Mamdani condemned Piker's comments during a debate and later called attacks against him racist, vowing to stand against Islamophobia as a New Yorker.

Mamdani's Campaign Scrutiny

A Campaign Finance Board complaint accuses Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign of improper coordination with Super PACs and questions $1.8 million in expenditures.
The complaint points to overlapping vendors and potential violations of campaign finance laws.
Mamdani remains the frontrunner while facing scrutiny from opponents, including Andrew Cuomo, who previously faced a $675,000 penalty for similar coordination.
Despite the challenges, Mamdani maintains a lead and focuses on affordability and social justice.
