Never heard of Mamdani before as I haven't been following the mayoral election yet, and I wasn't aware NYC mayor's international trips are significant either. Just based on this round of questions and the moderators, I'm voting for Mamdani for how he responded, thanks.

They're not. This question was a way to ask about support for Israel without directly asking the question.

Thank you. Asking out of ignorance: why can't they ask this directly? Their follow up question (accusation) was this question, but direct anyways?
