In a tight Democratic race for New York City mayor, the nine candidates have found little common ground. The only three things they seem to agree on are protecting the city’s immigrant population, distancing themselves from the Trump administration, and attacking one of their own, former state governor Andrew Cuomo, who was forced out of office in 2021 due to a sexual harassment scandal and is leading in all polls three weeks before the June 24 primaries.

All living people have been both male and female at the same time for six weeks. Although our sex is determined at the moment the sperm fertilizes the egg, it is not until a month and a half later that the biological programming to develop testes or ovaries is activated.
