NYC mayoral primary race enters final weekend, last chance for early voters
NEW YORK (WABC) -- This weekend marks the last for candidates to make their pitch and early voters to cast their ballots before Tuesday's primary.
For voters wanting to hit the polls ahead of election day, early voting ends Sunday. Polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Officials are urging voters to cast their ballots over the weekend or during cooler hours of the day as temperatures are expected to climb into three-digits.
While early voters cast their ballots, the candidates were out stumping for voters.
No fewer than four mayoral candidates appeared at the National Action Network in Harlem on Saturday morning, posing together with the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Also there was Spike Lee, telling everyone to vote regardless of the weather.
"I know it's gonna be 100 degrees Tuesday. That's do the right thing, hot," he said.
It was Council Speaker Adrienne Adams' only appearance of the day.
"I know what it feels like to be a mother. I know what it feels like to be a mother in pain, and I know what it feels like to want more for your children than the city is offering right now," she said.
Still in his suit, Queens Assemblyman Councilman Zohran Mamdani hit the streets to meet voters and get the endorsement of several politicians in his home borough.
"He has been our assembly member fighting for land use projects, fighting for historical amounts of affordable housing," Councilwoman Julia Wan said.
"This is an ever-expanding movement. This is a coalition," Mamdani said.
Comptroller Brad Lander, who has aligned himself with Mamdani, appeared with one of Andrew Cuomo's accusers, Lindsay Boylan.
"I often talk about Andrew Cuomo's abuse of women as a symptom of his deeper abuse of power," Boylan said.
"He wants to redeem himself by pounding his fist," Lander added.
Cuomo appeared with the mother of teen murder victim, Junior Feliz Guzmanan.
"We need more police. New Yorkers don't feel safe now. It's time for leadership with experience," she said.
"One of the top priorities has to be public safety. That, in my mind, is the foundation," Cuomo said.
