This week, mayoral candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo had some highs — and some lows. He was once again confirmed to be a frontrunner in a new Siena College poll, but he was also denied millions of dollars in public matching funds because of a so-called technical glitch. Meanwhile, Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is the first mayoral candidate to max out on public matching funds. Mamdani, along with some of the other candidates, spent the week going after President Donald Trump. NY1 political director Bob Hardt, investigative reporter Courtney Gross and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down a busy week in the race for mayor.

After that, the "Off Topic" team continues its series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. This week's installment finds them discussing Jessica Ramos, the Queens state senator running to the left of most of the other candidates.
