“#Dem hopefuls barnstorm across NYC with primary hours away<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Big App<\/a>le\u2019s Democratic mayoral hopefuls unleashed new blistering attacks on each other as they raced across the city to make their closing arguments to voters \u2014 shaking hands, snapping photos and talking to reporters \u2014 on Monday, in the hours before the primary election. <\/p>\n

The barnstorming came as a new poll showed Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams maintaining a solid lead in the race \u2014 and that put Andrew Yang back in second place, a marked change from other recent polls that showed him falling into fourth. <\/p>\n

The NY1-IPSOS survey showed former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia close behind in third, while Maya Wiley, a former top de Blasio aide, followed in fourth. <\/p>\n

The candidates appeared to take those findings to heart with tightly packed schedules that saw them bounce from event to event across all five boroughs \u2014 and furious exchanges, particularly between Yang and Adams. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe last thing New York City needs is a mayor who uses race-baiting any time he is criticized,\u201d Yang said, slamming Adams for not repudiating statements from his top surrogates that claimed Yang\u2019s decision to campaign with Garcia in the final week amounted to \u201cvoter suppression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams doubled down on his own attacks on Yang on Monday, describing him as a \u201cliar\u201d and a \u201cfraud,\u201d and mocking his recent polling troubles. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s Yang still doing in this race?\u201d Adams said to a crowd of union supporters and press.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, we know Andrew Yang is a fraud, is a liar. We could care less about Andrew Yang,\u201d Adams added.<\/p>\n

However, Adams demurred when asked by reporters if he thought the same of Garcia. <\/p>\n

Garcia, who vaulted into contention after The New York Times endorsed her and city Comptroller Scott Stringer\u2019s campaign imploded amid decades old allegations of sexual harassment, which he denied, steered clear of the vicious back and forth on Monday as she spoke to voters around the city. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m running a positive race. This what I\u2019ve been this entire time,\u201d she told reporters as she campaigned outside of the Staten Island Ferry terminal during the evening rush hour. \u201cAs we come into the home stretch, that\u2019s where I intend to stay.\u201d <\/p>\n

Wiley attempted to jump into the fray, issuing a statement that hit Adams over his surrogates remarks as she campaigned around the city \u2014 ending her day with a rally outside of the Brooklyn Museum in Crown Heights. <\/p>\n

\u201cRank the vote,\u201d she told reporters, as she walked through Washington Heights, greeting voters during lunch hour. \u201cAnyone who is trying to divide us and distract from how we actually come together and come back is being cynical and insensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n
