Democratic mayoral candidates took the stage Wednesday night at NBC’s fabled studio 8-H Wednesday — the longtime home of "Saturday Night Live" — fixated on using that spotlight to leave an impression on voters in the last major event before polls close next week.

The debate is of heightened consequence with such a large field of candidates all trying to take advantage of a new ranked-choice voting system, which has left no clear frontrunner with just days before polls close. The candidates on Wednesday evening piled on, trying to get in every possible attack line. Just one breakout moment or flub could scramble the field.

“New Yorkers didn't tune in tonight to hear us fight with each other," Donovan, a former Obama administration cabinet secretary, said, using a well-worn tactic of underdogs trying to get a word in. Another spirited moment came when candidates were asked what they consider to be the worst idea proposed by their competitors.policing strategy and Kathryn Garcia, a former city sanitation commissioner, lamented the "Defund the Police" movement.Morales and Ray McGuire, who sparred over McGuire’s characterizations about Black and brown communities' views on policing.

Politico is trash. Quoted without context. Published hit piece.

Stringer was not listening. His only objective was to attack Yang. Do you think Stringer, the sexual predator is a hypocrite?

The math guy will get it done.

Stringer attacks Yang claiming he gave a non-answer. Stringer asks Yang a question. Stringer speaks over Yang as soon as he begins to answer the question. If you ask Yang a question, LET THE MAN ANSWER IT

As a former counselor, the first thing I had to read in grad school was how a counselor got stabbed to death trying to help a homeless person. The 2nd biggest complaint I would get from clients is the lack of beds in hospitals. Nothing AndrewYang said is wrong. Grow up people.

Lol this stringer is creepy mofo

Imagine people even considering Scott Stringer. Says a lot about your character.

OK PLEASE DO NOT ELECT HIM. MAYDAY! MAYDAY! How about give us all free trauma therapy due to having the shittiest politicians ever...not more psych beds.

Psychiatric hospitals aren’t the answer. Look to Finland/Norway for answers, we need housing with full time staff and 24/7 help that isn’t bullcrap like Bellevue which takes people and discharges them with bullcrap follow up help. It would take a total overhaul

America gives Apartheid State Israel 10.5 million per day. They could use this for a start.

Scott Stringer's contempt for Andrew is kind of fun to watch.

Also in the debate regarding Housing :

JasonChengZAP Everyone knows AndrewYang is the idea guy, not Stringer.

Scott stringer repeating the common republican talking point “how are you gonna pay for it”

it came with a negative tone but Andrew just wants those mentally ill persons to be taken care of properly by confining them in a facility, and to prevent them from wandering and sleeping in dangerous streets/subways..

Scott the comptroller should explain this maybe

Some context from aeis17 here: Scott Stringer's calling out Andrew Yang for a policy he has personally endorsed. (Stringer has also called for an increase in psych beds.) Catch up with tonight's NYC mayoral debate:

He says FU while riding on an NYC sidewalk at the same speed as a car. So sad- I was hoping she'd pull through. Rest in peace 🙏 They have to stop this. They are reckless. Delivery guys using Manhattan sidewalks as highways and also to cheat by traveling in the opposite direction.

Watch the NYC mayoral debate alongside POLITICO's live analysisNYC mayoral candidate Kathryn Garcia said she wants to end the city's relationship with ICE. JoeAnuta explains why that was surprising. Watch tonight's debate live alongside our analysis: joeanuta You're not supposed to be turning profits from social policy or trying to run successful public businesses to finance social policy. That's what private business is supposed to do. Taxes from those businesses then finance that policy at a LOSS.
