US EditionRed States Win if NYC Moves Left with Democrat Mayor Mamdani
NEW YORK CITY, JUN 30 – Zohran Mamdani, 33, won the NYC Democratic mayoral primary by 10 points with a progressive socialist platform that energized voters and challenged party elites.
- Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York State Assemblyman, decisively won the June 24, 2025, Democratic mayoral primary in New York City, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo by about 10 points.
- Mamdani's rise followed Cuomo's 2021 resignation amidst scandal and was fueled by voters seeking a progressive alternative amid rising housing costs and crime concerns.
- Mamdani campaigned on policies including rent freezes, building 200,000 affordable homes, free buses, and universal childcare, while courting diverse voters, such as the city’s 750,000 Muslims and South Asians.
- Observers noted Mamdani’s victory as significant, with the National Republican Congressional Committee calling him the “new face of the Democrat Party” whose policies are “straight out of a socialist nightmare.”
- Mamdani is the presumptive nominee for the November 4, 2025, general election, though some analysts caution his win does not guarantee success due to opponents emphasizing law-and-order platforms.
