NYC mayoral primary: 2 weeks to go
Presented by With help from Cris Seda Chabrier Early voting in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor opens Saturday, and in this final stretch attention is centering on just two candidates: Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani. The past week saw a slew of endorsers backing the former governor, with some reluctance, because they preferred him to the socialist alternative. That included Orthodox Jewish leaders in Crown Heights and Borough Park and also the super PAC of the New York Apartment Association, which plans to spend $2.5 million supporting Cuomo this month. State Sen. Jessica Ramos was the most notable. Even if she may not have many loyal followers who'll directly take her advice to vote for Cuomo, one mayoral candidate backing another (after YEARS of brutal criticism) contributes to a sense of momentum, if not inevitability, that only helps the front-runner. The anti-Cuomo contingent, meanwhile, has continued to coalesce around Mamdani — coupled with the plea that voters don't rank Cuomo. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the most notable there. After endorsing Mamdani on Thursday, she boogied with him at the Puerto Rican Day parade yesterday in Manhattan — a high profile appearance that quickly answered the question of whether she would campaign with her first-ranked endorsee, or just back him on paper. 'I have so much faith in him as a leader for our city to move us forward because we share in the same values,' Ocasio-Cortez told reporters in audio shared by NBC New York. 'We want a New York City for the working class, so I'm very proud to endorse Zohran as number one.' In her next breath, Ocasio-Cortez went down the line of her other mayoral picks: Adrienne Adams, Brad Lander, Scott Stringer and Zellnor Myrie. 'All five of these candidates represent the coalition of a real New York for real working families,' she said. Rep. Nydia Velázquez, who'd previously endorsed Mamdani along with Adams and Lander, also said at the parade she was ranking Memdani number one, NY1 reports. Cuomo was elsewhere at the parade, touting the endorsement of Puerto Rican singer Marc Anthony and saying that nobody else in the race has a relationship with Puerto Ricans like he does. Knocked for months for dodging the press, Cuomo's team has shifted strategy. He's begun putting out a public schedule and is speaking more with reporters — and he even put out a statement criticizing ICE crackdowns on protesters. Is he nervous? 'There's definitely not an ounce of fear that is motivating why we do things,' Cuomo spokesperson Esther Jensen responded. It's simply that the primary is getting close and 'there's limited time.' The second televised debate is Thursday night on NY1. Expect the focus to be squarely on Cuomo and Mamdani. But it ain't over till it's over for the other contenders. Since Blake and Ramos didn't qualify for this one, we'll see if any other candidates try to follow their lead and make a last-gasp attempt to break through. — Jeff Coltin IT'S MONDAY: Got news? Send it our way: Jeff Coltin, Emily Ngo and Nick Reisman. WHERE'S KATHY? In New York City and Albany with no public schedule. WHERE'S ERIC? Public schedule unavailable as of Sunday at 10 p.m. QUOTE OF THE DAY: 'It's human error and it happens.' — Albany County Democratic Board of Elections Commissioner Alison McClean Lane after mailers went out to voters with the wrong primary date. ABOVE THE FOLD ELISE WATCH: Rep. Elise Stefanik will be in Albany today to meet with Republican state lawmakers as she weighs a 2026 gubernatorial bid. Stefanik is expected to meet with the GOP state Senate and Assembly conferences. In the morning, she'll hold a wide-ranging news conference that a spokesperson said will address 'the failures' of Gov. Kathy Hochul. Her Albany sojourn coincides with Democratic state lawmakers holding a separate morning news conference where they're expected to blast Congressional Republicans over Medicaid cuts — a potential vulnerability for GOP candidates in next year's midterm elections. The events underscore how the political calendar is starting to shift as state lawmakers are otherwise engaged with putting the finishing touches on end-of-session legislation. Republican Mike Lawler is expected to announce this month whether he will run for governor. (Stefanik has a lead in an early GOP primary poll, which included Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.) Democrat Ritchie Torres signaled he'll announce a decision on whether he'll run after the June 24 primary. Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado officially launched his longshot bid last week to challenge Hochul. (More on his kickoff rally below.) Stefanik's political activity is picking up after her nomination to become United Nations ambassador was pulled over concerns the paper-thin Republican majority in the House would be hobbled by her absence. Since then, Stefanik has moved to form a political action committee geared toward aiding down-ballot GOP candidates in local races — an effort that could help her consolidate support, especially among suburban and New York City Republicans. She's also been appearing at GOP confabs in crucial areas like Staten Island and western New York. Republicans have not held office statewide since 2006, when George Pataki finished his third term as governor. Since then the state has gotten bluer, with the GOP presently shut out of statewide elected office and in control of relatively little in Albany. The midterm elections also stand to hinge on President Donald Trump, whose deep unpopularity in the Empire State will threaten to hurt Republicans up and down the ballot. Still, Republicans view Hochul as uniquely vulnerable in a blue state where affordability and public safety have been overriding concerns. — Nick Reisman CITY HALL: THE LATEST DOCTORS APPOINTMENT: Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order Sunday adopting a description of antisemitism that could impact social service organizations funded with public dollars. Adams formally adopted the definition of antisemitism defined by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance during an event hosted by Dr. Phil, the conservative television personality who has become increasingly close with the mayor. 'The entire Adams administration will use the IHRA working definition to identify and address instances of antisemitism across the city, as well as to raise awareness of this crisis,' Adams said. 'For example, if a city-funded organization denies the right of the Jewish people to self determination or makes an implication using stereotypes of the Jewish people, this definition gives us the tools to crack down.' The IHRA definition uses contemporary examples to define antisemitism, according to a City Hall press release, including 'accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust,' or 'holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.' Adams then pledged to introduce a bill in the City Council codifying the standard into law and called on Council Speaker Adrienne Adams — who is running to replace the mayor — to ensure it passes. 'Now is the time, when I give you that bill, you will sign it into law,' the mayor said. The mayor claimed his counterpart in the Council already promised to do so. However, the speaker actually committed to exploring an executive order — exactly what the mayor did Sunday — if she were to become mayor during an interview with the UJA-Federation of New York. In response, a spokesperson for the speaker said any legislation proposed by the mayor would go through the standard process. The spokesperson also accused City Hall of underfunding the very cause the mayor was promoting Sunday night. 'We are currently working to secure investments for programs that combat antisemitism and hate throughout our neighborhoods, which were not funded in the Mayor's Executive Budget,' spokesperson Mara Davis said in a statement. 'Unfortunately, the Mayor's Executive Budget also reduced funding for the City's Commission on Human Rights that is responsible for enforcing the City's Human Rights Law, and the commission continues to be understaffed with approximately 30 vacant staff positions that are already budgeted.' Davis added that the Council heard nothing of the mayor's plans prior to a Sunday evening press release. Adams signed the order at an event hosted by Dr. Phil, whose full name is Phil McGraw. The impresario hosted the event to raise awareness about antisemitism and, along with Adams, condemned Hamas and accused New York City universities of fostering antisemitism. After speeches from both, Adams and McGraw sat down for a fireside chat and took questions from Jewish community leaders. — Joe Anuta GOLF BUDDIES: Two top aides to the mayor hit the links Sunday with President Donald Trump — a further indication of the deep ties between City Hall and the White House. Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry and NYPD Chief of Department John Chell popped over to the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., where the duo were pictured with the commander-in-chief — both on and off the course. 'It was a true privilege to meet President Donald Trump,' Daughtry wrote in a LinkedIn post. 'I'm grateful for the warm welcome and humbled by the experience.' Daughtry wrote that the day was filled with 'a shared commitment to service,' but neither he nor Chell responded to a request from Playbook to elaborate on their face-to-face. — Joe Anuta THE CANDIDATES RESPOND: The Citizens Budget Commission is publishing the results of its extensive finance-focused mayoral candidate questionnaire today. Nine City Hall hopefuls participated. Cuomo and Lander rated the city's fiscal soundness as 'fair' while Mamdani rated it 'poor.' Nearly every candidate who completed the questionnaire said they back legislation to require mandatory deposits to the city's reserves, or 'rainy day fund.' And nearly everyone said they would support actions to reduce uniformed overtime, including implementing a hard overtime cap, eliminating unlimited sick leave or excluding most overtime earnings from pension calculations. — Emily Ngo FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: Former Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr. is backing Mark Levine's bid for city comptroller. Levine, the Manhattan borough president, and Justin Brannan, the City Council's Finance Committee chair, are the top contenders for the fiscal watchdog post ahead of this month's primary. — Emily Ngo More from the city: — Protesters confronted federal officers who have been cuffing immigrants and shuttling them away into unmarked cars from immigration hearings in Lower Manhattan. (amNewYork) — Cuomo tried to make hay of city lawsuits involving Lander — but the suits are over issues such as dog-neutering, and in all but one, he was only a nominally listed defendant. (New York Post) — Cuomo's sexual harassment accusations are playing little role in the mayoral race. (Daily News) NEW FROM PLANET ALBANY DELGADO LAUNCHES: Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado formally kicked off his challenge against Hochul on Saturday at the Schenectady YMCA basketball court where he spent much of his childhood. Delgado signalled to the couple hundred attendees there he'll be running to the governor's left in the coming months. His plans? Helping more people pay their rent, expanding the number of people receiving free healthcare and creating a fund to supplement childcare workers' pay. He also criticized the state's economic development spending. 'What I'm laying out is a vision. Then you work with the legislative body collaboratively to effectuate that vision,' he said after the speech when asked about funding his agenda. 'You have to actually understand where we're going, what it is we're trying to do, as opposed to just year-to-year taking whatever you have and kind of just hopping around and saying 'OK, we hope to get this done, we hope to get that done.'' It's Delgado's first time running as an underdog since he emerged from a seven-candidate Democratic field to flip a House seat in 2018. His reemergence on the campaign trail highlighted one of the qualities that helped him win that year: He's better at energizing a crowd through a speech than any New York gubernatorial candidate since Mario Cuomo. But even a full year on the hustings isn't enough time to connect with most voters through oratory. And his launch also highlighted his biggest roadblock. While a few officials like the Greene County Democratic chair were present, he's likely to secure negligible establishment backing, which is crucial to quickly building a statewide political infrastructure. Indeed, he made it clear he'll be running as an outsider rather than attempting to win the establishment over. 'A lot of folks have been talking about this idea of 'loyalty' since I announced my run for governor,' he said. 'But I have to ask — loyal to who? Loyalty to what? Because loyalty to the broken system is why we're in this mess in the first place. Loyalty to political elites and special interest groups and big-time donors is what I'd argue separated the Democratic Party from the working and middle class.' — Bill Mahoney PASSOVER AND PETITIONING: A bill to change next year's petitioning deadline will head to Hochul's desk after it won unanimous approval in the state Senate. The measure would extend the deadline to file petitions for candidates seeking elected office by several days to accommodate the start of Passover. 'When we make our systems and election processes more inclusive, we strengthen our democracy,' said state Sen. Kristen Gonzalez, the Queens Democrat who sponsored the measure with Assemblymember Alex Bores. 'When we make sure that Jewish candidates can celebrate Passover with their families and loved ones without interruption, we're showing that our government can be responsive and respectful.' The governor typically doesn't weigh in on pending bills, but she's likely to sign it. Changing key election dates because they fall on religious holidays or sensitive anniversaries like Sept. 11 is a common practice. — Nick Reisman More from Albany: — Secrecy reigned during the state budget process this year, troubling Democrats and Republicans. (Times Union) — Caucus lawmakers endorsed a package of bills meant to change New York's prison system. (Gothamist) — Records show Delgado is doing little to earn his lieutenant governor salary. (New York Post) KEEPING UP WITH THE DELEGATION FEDERAL PLAZA STANDOFF: Reps. Nydia Velázquez and Adriano Espaillat said they were denied entry Sunday to a federal building in lower Manhattan, where they and immigrant rights advocates say migrants are being detained in unsafe conditions. They sought to exercise their oversight responsibilities as members of Congress, much as House members did when they visited the federal detention center in Newark last month. 'We're very concerned about what's happening in this building,' Espaillat, a Manhattan and Bronx Democrat, said of 26 Federal Plaza. 'We will continue to come back until we have access to the 10th floor.' Elected officials, advocates and other New Yorkers have been protesting Trump's immigration agenda and the recent practice by which federal immigration agents arrest migrants at court appearances and check-ins. 'They are apprehending people that are following the rules,' Velázquez said Sunday. Spokespeople with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the Department of Homeland Security under Trump has leaned heavily on the use of 'expedited removal.' A demonstration Saturday at the site in Manhattan devolved into clashes with the NYPD. The Department of Homeland Security commended New York City police on X and contrasted their response with that in Los Angeles, where the National Guard has been deployed to respond to violent protests against ICE. 'More than 150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE's immigration enforcement operations,' DHS wrote Saturday on X of the New York City demonstrations. — Emily Ngo More from Congress: — Andrew Giuliani has a new high-stakes job in a global arena. (POLITICO) — House Republicans make their choice: 'It's President Trump, not President Musk.' (POLITICO) — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says low-income New Yorkers could struggle to beat the heat due to Trump cuts.

RGB holds rare revote, cuts two-year lower limit
The Rent Guidelines Board, in a rare departure from its regularly scheduled programming, held a revote on preliminary ranges for rent-stabilized leases — a crucial gauge for the final adjustments. The board reaffirmed the range for one-year leases it greenlit last month but voted to cut the lower range for two-year leases by one percentage point to 3.75 percent from 4.75 percent. The preliminary ranges are now 1.75 percent to 4.75 percent for one-year leases and 3.75 to 7.75 percent for two-year leases. The vote passed 5-3. One member of the nine-person board was absent, NY1 reported. The change was rooted in a clerical error, sources told The Real Deal and RGB Chair Doug Apple confirmed. Apple misstated the proposed range published to the RGB's website when he spoke at last month's meeting. He was competing against tenant chants for a 'rent freeze.' 'When Doug said the range out loud, it was incorrect,' a source who requested anonymity said. 'Everyone on the board and in and around the board knew this.' The members decided a do-over would be best from a legal standpoint. 'What we did in April is what we did in April, and what we did today was the right thing to give us more flexibility in the range,' Apple said. The switch-up comes as the RGB vote has become a political flashpoint in the mayoral election. Mayor Eric Adams, fighting to keep his seat after a protracted legal scandal, is a small landlord who has historically advised the board to strike a balance between landlord and tenant interests. After a swatch of his Democratic challengers called for a rent freeze, he tweaked his tune. On the heels of the preliminary vote, he called the 7.75 percent upper range for two-year leases 'far too high of a burden for tenants.' After the Tuesday revote, sources pointed to an emerging 'narrative' that the number had been adjusted down to align with the mayor's stance. It should be noted, however, that the board tweaked the lower number, not the upper that Adams flagged. A spokesperson for the mayor's office said, 'if [Adams] had instructed the board to hold a vote, please note that the Rent Guidelines Board is an independent body.' At a press conference Tuesday, Adams said something to that effect while noting that the ranges weren't quite where they should be. 'The ranges that we put out, this independent board put out, was outside of the scope that we believe [in] — New Yorkers are hurting,' Adams said. He went on to advocate for a balanced approach and noted he'd be holding a town hall for small landlords who were struggling. The hiccup at last month's RGB hearing illustrates the increasingly disruptive tenant protests during these proceedings. Though no one stormed the stage, as a renter-aligned group did during the 2023 preliminary vote, Apple did struggle to be heard over a chorus of tenant chants. At some points, he and other board members seemed distracted by the din. When asked, however, Apple did not say the noise was a problem. 'It's a democracy, right?' Apple said. 'People can come and they can protest.' 'It was chaotic and loud, as usual,' Ann Korchak, who heads the Small Property Owners of New York, said of this year's preliminary vote. 'The board, with such an important job, should be able to conduct its business.' The minor adjustment did nothing to quell the tensions of landlords or tenants, both of whom claim a final vote within the proposed ranges will be nothing short of disastrous. Tenant advocates say New Yorkers burdened by the soaring cost of living and economic uncertainty can't afford higher rents. The Legal Aid Society, said the board in its Tuesday vote had 'miss[ed] yet another opportunity to adopt a full rent freeze.' Landlords, many of whom cannot maintain buildings with inflation-lagging rent increases, decried the cut to the lower range. SPONY, individually, called on the city to freeze property taxes, water and sewer rates and 'other government-driven costs' to help owners stay afloat. Rent board eyes up to 4.75% hike as landlords, tenants despair 'They're pushing the eject button': Related unloads monster rent-stabilized portfolio for $192M — another loss RGB calls for 6.3% hike on rent-regulated leases.

Brooklyn Bridge horror as 270ft Mexican training vessel crashes into it with 'multiple people in water'
The Cuauhtémoc, a 270-foot training vessel with a crew of 277, collided with the bridge just before 9pm, with one of its towering 147-foot masts smashing into the bridge's road deck, according to sources The Cuauhtémoc, a massive 270-foot ship with 277 crew members, smashed into the bridge at around 9pm. The force of the impact snapped one of its 147-foot masts, which came crashing down onto the ship's deck, sending panicked bystanders on the Brooklyn side into shock. Video footage captured the horror of the moment, with one onlooker exclaiming, "Oh s–t!" in the background. Several people were rescued from the water, while two individuals were rushed to hospital in critical condition. Fire officials confirmed multiple victims are receiving treatment for severe injuries. The area is filled with rescue efforts, including helicopters overhead, tug boats in the water, and emergency responders on the shore. Others were taken to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for urgent medical attention, reports the Mirror. The Cuauhtémoc, built in Spain in 1982, was in New York for a ceremonial stop ahead of the Sail4th celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. As the situation is assessed, the full extent of the damage and the number of injuries remains unclear. According to NY1's Dean Meminger, two people are in critical condition. Reports on social media have labelled the incident as a "mass casualty incident". "Manhattan *ALL HANDS* Box 0074 Pier 16 Peck Slip ALL HANDS TRANSMITTED FOR THE BOAT ACCIDENT INTO MANHATTAN BRIDGE. MCI FOR MULTIPLE PATIENTS BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE PIER". NYC Firewire has reported a second incident involving individuals in the water. Mexico's Navy, through its official account, Cuenta Oficial de la Secretaría de Marina, shared:. "During the sailing maneuvers of the Cuauhtémoc sailing vessel in New York, a mishap occurred with the Brooklyn Bridge, causing damage to the training ship and preventing the continuation of the training cruise for the time being. "The status of personnel and equipment is being reviewed by naval and local authorities, who are providing support. "The Secretariat of the Navy reaffirms its commitment to personnel safety, transparency in its operations, and excellent training for future officers of the Mexican Navy."

2025 Drama League Awards winners announced: Nicole Scherzinger takes Distinguished Performance
Winners of the 2025 Drama League Awards were announced today in a ceremony hosted by Emmy-winning NY1 reporter Frank DiLella at the Ziegfeld Ballroom. In a competitive year for theater awards, both Maybe Happy Ending and Sunset Boulevard added important feathers to their caps on their march to the Tony Awards. Nicole Scherzinger took home the Drama League's highly coveted Distinguished Performance prize for her radical reinterpretation of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. Actors can only win this catch-all performance award once in their careers. More from GoldDerby 'ER' alum Eriq La Salle looks back on the Benton-Carter rehab moment 25 years later: 'If you have to go to hell, I'm coming to hell with you' 'The Last of Us' Emmy odds shake-up: With Kaitlyn Dever going guest, Isabela Merced jumps up in supporting How Natasha Rothwell helped Belinda get her groove back in 'The White Lotus' Season 3 The winner of this award repeats that victory at the Tonys more often than not. Last year, Sarah Paulson won the Drama League before clinching a Tony win for her role in the play Appropriate. Other recent Drama League winners who went on to win a Tony in the same year include Danny Burstein (Moulin Rouge!), Bryan Cranston (Network), Glenda Jackson (Three Tall Women), Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen), and Neil Patrick Harris (Hedwig and the Angry Inch). It's worth noting that Scherzinger's main Tony competition, Audra McDonald, was not eligible for the Drama League having already claimed the Distinguished Performance prize for Porgy and Bess in 2012. Sunset Boulevard also won the group's award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical, but director Jamie Lloyd lost the director prize to Maybe Happy Ending helmer Michael Arden. That tuner also won Outstanding New Musical. A win for this android love story here is important, because it was up against all of its Tony Awards rivals. Tony nominees Buena Vista Social Club and Dead Outlaw weren't nominated at some other awards bodies like the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, having already competed for their Off-Broadway runs. So this is one of very few precursor awards where Maybe Happy Ending faced all of it's Best Musical Tony competition (and then some), and it showed great strength with voters. As for plays, Oh, Mary! continued its awards season dominance with wins for Outstanding Production of a Play and Director of a Play for Sam Pinkleton. Of more interest for awards watchers is a rare tie in Outstanding Revival of a Play between Manhattan Theatre Club's Eureka Day and the Off-Broadway production of Vanya, starring Andrew Scott. This is the first tie in this category in Drama League history, indicating that none of this year's revivals are going to steamroll their way to a Tony. Eureka Day is certainly timely with its thoughtful discussion of vaccine mandates in schools, but there's room in this flexible race for other Tony nominees like Yellow Face, Our Town, or Romeo + Juliet to make their case.
