Overview

• At Ground Zero, families read the nearly 3,000 victims’ names as twin light beams rose over lower Manhattan, with concerts and firehouse ceremonies across the city.
• The FDNY reported 39 firefighter deaths in the past year linked to 9/11‑related illnesses.
• Andrew Cuomo used an event near the site to link Zohran Mamdani to Hasan Piker’s 2019 comment that the U.S. “deserved 9/11,” which Mamdani’s campaign condemned while noting Piker later expressed regret.
• A Siena College/New York Times poll shows Mamdani at 46%, with Cuomo at 24% and Republican Curtis Sliwa at 15%.
• Mayor Eric Adams polls below 10% as he faces corruption accusations and denies reports of talks with the Trump administration about a job for withdrawing; President Donald Trump planned to attend a Yankees game as Vice President J.D. Vance visited Ground Zero.
