New York City's Democratic mayoral nominee doubled down Thursday on his blistering campaign video about Andrew Cuomo's link to Jeffrey Epstein.

Think you know where the candidates for New York mayor are coming from? Think again. With less than 90 days to go before Election Day, the candidates are all migrating toward the political center, dropping old positions and adopting new ones, freely copying one another’s policies and style along the way.

Zohran Mamdani has linked Andrew Cuomo, his New York mayoral rival, to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Mr Mamdani, the Democratic socialist candidate, called on the former New York governor to “release the Cuomo list” in a 90-second attack video.
