The three candidates in the Nov. 4 election frequently talked over each other — and a few times Sliwa, the Republican candidate, also droned on so much that the moderators at 30 Rockefeller Center cut him off.

Sliwa and Cuomo, the former governor running as an independent, aimed much of their ire at the front-runner, Democratic nominee Mamdani — but weren’t always in sync with their attacks.

Here are the top five moments from Thursday’s debate on WNBC:

Cuomo wasted no time ripping into Mamdani. Within minutes of the start of the debate, he jabbed at the Queens assemblyman’s lack of leadership experience.

“He literally has never had a job,” Cuomo said.

“On his resume, it says he interned for his mother. This is not a job for a first-timer,” Cuomo said, comparing the 33-year-old assemblyman to his decades-long career in elected politics.

“If you don’t know what you’re doing people could die,” he continued.

Mamdani, meanwhile, was quick to point out the death toll during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Cuomo was governor.

“If we have a health pandemic, then why would New Yorkers turn back to the governor who sent seniors to their deaths in nursing homes?,” he retorted.

Mamdani’s stance on prostitution, one of the most shocking aspects of the democratic socialists’ agenda, was bound to be one of the most fiery points of the evening, and did not disappoint.

During a separate line of questions on quality of life, Sliwa and Cuomo started digging into Mamdani, accusing him of wanting to let hookers run free for hire.

“The assemblyman is a mini-me-BDB, he’s Bill de Blasio-lite,” Cuomo said, accusing Mamdani of adopting the former mayor’s direction to NYPD not to arrest prostitutes.

“I am not nor have I ever called for the legalization of prostitution,” Mamdani claimed, digging into Cuomo.

“The assemblyman is a mini-me-BDB, he’s Bill de Blasio-lite,” Cuomo said, accusing Mamdani of adopting the former mayor’s direction to NYPD not to arrest prostitutes.

Mamdani wants to decriminalize sex work and co-sponsors a bill in Albany that would do so.

“If you are happy with what’s happening on Roosevelt Avenue then you should vote for Andrew Cuomo because his policy is to continue the exact same ones we’ve seen under [current mayor] Eric Adams,” Mamdani added.

Cuomo has advocated for flooding cops to areas like notorious avenue of sweethearts, and prosecuting prostitutes.

“You have to enforce the law, it’s illegal.”

Sliwa stuck out a middle ground, advocating for focusing on going after the pimps and men hiring prostitutes instead of the women themselves.

“You let everybody know about the jawns. The madams and the pimps need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Sliwa said.

None of the candidates were willing to publicly back Gov. Kathy Hochul’s reelection bid next year.
