The race to replace New York Mayor Bill de Blasio will cross a key threshold on Tuesday as Democrats and Republicans host their primary elections.

Some of the Democrats hoping to become New York’s next mayor are calling for more policing. So far, they’ve been leading in the polls.

Polls suggest the left will lose out in the city arguably leading the socialist revival in the United States.

The Democratic primary race for New York City mayor is nearing the finish line with a surge in shootings pushing public safety to the top of some voters' concerns.

Fear of crime is back as a political issue in New York City. The violence is still well short of the historic highs of the 1990s, or even in the New York of the early 2000s. “No one is coming to New York, in our multibillion-dollar tourism industry, if you have 3-year-old children shot in Times Square,” Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said at a recent debate, referring to a May 8 shooting in which a 4-year-old girl and two adult women were wounded by stray bullets.

The debate centered on crime and the candidates delved into more personal attacks.

McDonald's shareholders approved reelecting all of the company's board members during its annual meeting based on preliminary results.

McDonald's board will likely face tough questions from shareholders on Thursday about how it handled the firing of former CEO Steve Easterbrook.

Frontrunners Andrew Yang and Eric Adams found themselves taking the most heat, although Adams got his own digs in.

With less than six weeks to go, the Democratic primary that may decide the next mayor of New York City has reached a new stage of unpredictability. Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang is clinging to front-runner status while City Comptroller Scott Stringer fights off a sexual misconduct allegation. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former police officer and founder of a law enforcement reform group, has seen his standing rise amid concern over a spike in shootings during the coronavirus pandemic — including gunfire that injured three bystanders in Times Square.
