Zohran Mamdani’s Historic NYC Win, in Three Maps

Zohran Mamdani won the NYC mayoral race with 50.4% of votes amid a campaign marked by accusations of racism and Islamophobia, with turnout exceeding 2 million voters citywide.

  • On Tuesday, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani secured a historic victory as New York City's first Muslim leader, with unofficial returns showing him leading 50.4% to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 41.6%.
  • Acting on a strategy of racialized attacks, Andrew Cuomo, former Gov. of New York and mayoral candidate, closed his bid with AI-generated ads, accepted Donald Trump's endorsement, and framed diversity as a weakness.
  • Geographically, Mamdani won four boroughs, with Staten Island recording 148,924 votes, the highest for a mayoral election, while citywide turnout exceeded two million.
  • Cuomo conceded in a short, graceless speech that mispronounced Mamdani's name and was booed at Cuomo's watch party; more than 850,000 voters for Cuomo raise concerns about consequences for racist tactics.
  • That this year's campaign became a national story, highlighting Zohran Mamdani's message and the wild bigotry arrayed against him, while commentators argue few face consequences for gutter racism targeting a brown-skinned Muslim.
