As Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa hit the campaign trail in the final weeks before Election Day, NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Bob Hardt analyze the state of the race and weigh in on what Sliwa, the Republican nominee, needs to do to improve his chances in a heavily Democratic city.
They also spend some time talking about Latino politics. The community now represents almost 30% of the city’s population, but a Latino candidate has never been elected to citywide office. Is it just a matter of time? Or is ideology more important than ethnic identity when it comes to such a diverse community?
