NEW YORK (PIX11) \u2013 The top three candidates for New York City mayor will be facing off for one final time<\/a> on Wednesday night for their last debate.<\/p>\n

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani continues to hold an insurmountable lead<\/a> over independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, as long as Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa stays in the race, according to a new poll from AARP\/Gotham Analytics. If Sliwa exits the race, Mamdani\u2019s lead over Cuomo would shrink to 44.6% over 40.7%.<\/p>\n

In his most recent messaging, Mamdani has vowed to scrutinize the billions of dollars the Department of Education is spending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a choice between a disgraced former governor and a vision for change. I am a Democratic socialist who believes in the dignity of each and every New Yorker. The responsibility of city government\u2026 to deliver for those New Yorkers that which is necessary to live a dignified life,\u201d Mamdani has previously said.<\/p>\n

Cuomo<\/a> has also promised big things, saying that he\u2019ll take over major subway build projects due to his experience in large capital construction projects like the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge and LaGuardia Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis election is a choice\u00a0between capitalism and socialism; that is the choice,\u201d Cuomo said.<\/p>\n

Sliwa<\/a> has adamantly refused to drop out, even claiming that Cuomo offered him money to do so. His focus for New York City is public and transit safety, with plans to hire thousands more police officers.<\/p>\n
