Eight Democratic candidates vying to become the next mayor of New York City will face off live and
in person on Wednesday night for the second of three official primary debates.
The first much anticipated in-person debate comes with roughly three weeks to go until the June 22nd primary, in an election that will determine the city's path to recovery as well as how it tackles other profound issues such as public safety, police reform, and racial and economic justice.
With sparse and questionable polling and a large portion of voters saying they are still undecided, experts say that the race is still fluid. But recent polls have suggested that three moderates are leading the field: Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president; Andrew Yang, the former presidential candidate and tech entrepreneur; and Kathryn Garcia, the city's former sanitation commissioner.
