Good morning on this wobbly Wednesday.

Things got feisty last night at the first general election debate in the race for New York City mayor, and the raucous audience was partly responsible for it.

(If you missed it, here are five takeaways and a fact-check.)

Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, the Republican candidate, and Bo Dietl, an independent, were met with cheers, jeers, boos and screams as they answered questions about homelessness, subway delays, police reform and racial segregation in schools, among other topics.

Mr. de Blasio harped on the other candidates’ support for President Trump. Ms. Malliotakis called out the mayor’s touchy relationship with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. And Mr. Dietl managed to work the term “nincompoop” into some comments on jail reform.

We asked some of the attendees: Who won the debate?

“No one won the debate. It was a S-show in there. Everyone was booing, you couldn’t hear the answers to the questions — it was too much.”
