Opponents of Zohran Mamdani are stepping up their efforts as the mayoral race nears its final stretch. Across several boroughs, volunteers have begun organizing neighborhood meetings and digital ads urging voters to block what they call his “radical” housing and policing plans. Business owners warn that his proposals could drive companies and jobs out of the city. Some long-time Democrats say they support rent relief and fairness but fear Mamdani’s policies go too far, too fast. Cuomo’s campaign is quietly counting on that backlash to tighten the race in the final days. Even with Mamdani leading in most polls, the tone has shifted — from curiosity to confrontation. What happens next may depend less on campaign slogans and more on who shows up to vote.
