Cuomo: Add 5,000 NYPD, Defeat 'Anti-Police' Mamdani

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo endorses Mayor Eric Adams' plan to hire 5,000 more NYPD officers, aiming to boost public safety and improve officer morale. The proposal, if approved, would significantly increase the NYPD force and cost over $300 million by 2029. Cuomo criticizes rival Democrat Zohran Mamdani, who supports cutting police funding, while Mamdani attempts to soften his stance on policing. Republicans continue to criticize both candidates, with the outcome of the debate potentially shaping New York City's law enforcement and public trust for years to come.
