President Trump gave a perfect answer to a reporter asking why he doesn’t go to Congress to get a declaration of war for his attacks on the drug cartels, when Congress would . . .

State officials said a Texas man was arrested for making death threats against Jewish conservative media figures who live in Florida.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner for mayor of New York City, sought to play it safe in the final debate of the race, avoiding contentious issues and pledging to keep the police commissioner. Andrew M. Cuomo, who is running as an independent, and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate, repeatedly attacked Mr. Mamdani and accused him of being inexperienced and evasive. The candidates had tense arguments over how to build housing, combat antisemitism, stand up to President Trump and navigate immigration raids.

Andrew Cuomo was the winner of the final New York City mayoral election debate — passing with flying colors as front-runner Zohran Mamdani barely made the grade, a Post panel of political experts said. Mamdani, the lefty Democratic nominee, was left sweating on stage Wednesday night as he took big hits from independent hopeful Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, making a poor showing with less than two weeks before the election. “Cuomo won the debate,” Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist University Institute for Public Opinion, said of the 90-minute slugfest hosted by Spectrum NY1.

Zohran Mamdani’s odds of winning the 2025 New York mayoral election received a slight boost from one leading bookmaker but suffered a knock with another, following his heated final debate with independent rival Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday. Mamdani, a democratic socialist serving in the New York State Assembly, is hoping to win New York City’s mayoral election in November after beating Cuomo, a former governor of the state, in a June primary for the Democratic Party nomination. Cuomo, who is running as an independent following the loss, is polling significantly behind Mamdani—with Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in third place. A Mamdani win in November would be a significant win for the American left and would likely put the incoming New York mayor and the White House on a collision course.

We are living through an age of political violence in America. One sign of that: Threats of violence against public figures are now so commonplace that they barely make the front page.
