Business Rundown: How The "Mamdani Effect" Is Already Shaking Up The Real Estate Market

Republicans Rally Behind … Andrew Cuomo!?

In an uncommon political move, New York Republican Congressman Nick Langworthy is endorsing former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo for New York City Mayor. He tells the Rundown why he believes Cuomo is the only candidate who can defeat Zohran Mamdani and prevent what he calls a dangerous turn for the city. Langworthy also explains how state leaders in Albany could limit a Mamdani administration’s power over issues like taxes, rent, and mass transit, and he shares his thoughts on the ongoing government shutdown in Washington. With Election Day just hours away, new polls show Democrats gaining momentum while Republicans look to pull off an upset. FOX News Decision Desk Director Arnon Mishkin joins the Rundown to discuss how President Trump has changed voter turnout trends, the key dynamics shaping the New Jersey and Virginia governor’s races, and why affordability remains a top issue heading into the 2026 midterms.

Extra: Why Are Beef Prices So High?

President Trump is weighing increased beef imports from Argentina to help bring down prices, but some U.S. cattle ranchers say the move could hurt American producers.

Extra: Curtis Sliwa On His Controversial Campaign To Be New York City's Next Mayor

New York City will pick its next mayor on Tuesday. While the Democrat Zohran Mamdani remains the frontrunner, independent Andrew Cuomo has cut into his lead in recent polls. Trailing behind both is Republican Curtis Sliwa. Critics of Sliwa, including many in his own party, say his decision not to drop out of the race despite trailing significantly gives Mamdani an advantage. Earlier this week, Curtis Sliwa spoke with FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal about the race, why he says his policies are the best to ‘save’ New York City, and why he has resisted pressure from all sides to drop out. Sliwa, a former New York City talk radio host, also addressed comments that he’s responsible for the ‘rise’ of Democrat Socialist Mamdani and pushed back against accusations that he's running solely for financial benefit. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Republican New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Business Rundown: Why Some 'Fear' The Rise Of 'Class Warfare Politics'

In just a few days, New York City, the world's business capital, will select its next mayor. The favorite to win is Democrat Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist. This title has raised concerns among both Republicans and some Democrats. In addition to his controversial views on Israel, his platform—which includes free buses, universal child care, and city-run grocery stores—has prompted many prominent Democrats to hesitate before supporting the frontrunner in next week's NYC mayoral race. While Mamdani’s focus on addressing the affordability crisis appeals to residents of one of America's most expensive cities, critics fear his use of "class warfare tactics." FOX Business’ Lydia Hu speaks with Dr. Eric Patterson, the President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington, D.C., to discuss his organization, the dangers of ‘class warfare’ rhetoric and policies, and why he fears Mamdani’s popularity and potential victory could signal a shift in American politics.
