The two-hour debate – which is likely to focus on public safety, cost of living, housing and Trump – kicks off at 7 pm ET
The New York Times is reporting that Zohran Mamdani is planning to ask the New York City police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, to remain in her role if he wins the election.
As the Times notes, deciding who should lead the 50,000-person department is one of the biggest choices a New York mayor must make. Mamdani, who has been critical of the NYPD and has said he wants to build a community safety agency, might have been swayed by fierce lobbying since winning the Democratic primary.
