Both Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo marched in today's Columbus Day Parade, albeit separately. And despite their many differences, the two top Democrats had similar reactions to last night's Presidential debate. State House Reporter Zack Fink has more.

Months into their very public feud, the Governor and the Mayor marched separately in the Columbus Day parade.

The two leaders, who proudly share Italian heritage, found agreement on something else, saying Democrat Hillary Clinton bested Republican Donald Trump in Sunday night's debate as Trump was trying to redeem himself after being caught on tape making lewd comments about women.

"He did not redeem himself," said de Blasio. "Hillary Clinton had a very strong performance. She looked like a President."

But she's a candidate who has wanted to keep the mayor at arm's length at times. Leaked emails reveal that Clinton's team tried to create a buffer as de Blasio was late to endorse Clinton for President.

Cuomo went a step further about Trump.

"I think it is time for the Republican leaders to stop playing this game of I don't like the comments, but I support him," Cuomo said. "You can't have it both ways. It's a black and white issue."

But when asked if New Jersey Governor Chris Christie should stop serving Trump as a close advisor, The Governor was more coy. He and Christie share a close personal relationship, despite being from opposite parties.

"I leave New Jersey to him," Cuomo said. "And his politics to him and he leaves New York to me. It's not my place to tell him what to do."

In a statement New York State Republican Chairman Ed Cox says he condemns Trump's comments but Americans should decide who their President is based on actions.

Mayor de Blasio spoke to NY1 and only one other media outlet Monday. Last week he refused to take questions from a New York Post Reporter.

"The New York Post is not like other media outlets," de Blasio said. "It has an ideological agenda. It has had one for decades. And I think it has been a very divisive negative right wing agenda. And I'll keep saying that. But I'll still take their questions."

The Mayor's fellow citywide elected officials criticized him for refusing to answer questions from The Post.

"It's part of what comes with the job," said City Comptroller Scott Stringer. "And I think he should take a deep breath and realize you have to take the back and forth. The give and take."

"I would urge the Mayor of the City of New York to cooperate with all newspaper outlets," said Public Advocate Letitia James. "Even those who are hostile to his administration."
