US EditionMamdani and Cuomo face off as New York City chooses new mayor, while Sliwa hopes for an upset
Zohran Mamdani, 34, won New York City's mayoral race with historic support from over 2 million voters and a platform centered on affordability and labor rights.
- NOVEMBER 4: Zohran Mamdani was projected to win New York City's mayoralty, capturing 50.4% of the vote after voting in Astoria, Queens with his wife Rama Duwaji.
- Mamdani's campaign mobilized volunteers who knocked on 1.5 million doors and staged progressive events, energizing young voters with affordability themes in the Democratic primary earlier this year.
- Analysis found the anti-Mamdani discourse reached over 1.5 billion views, and President Donald Trump criticized Mamdani, backed Cuomo, and threatened federal funding, the Centre for the Study of Organised Hate reported.
- Mamdani's win positions him to implement an agenda of rent freezes, free buses, and universal childcare, funded by a corporate tax increase to 11.5% and a 2% levy on incomes over 1.5 million, amid record turnout of two million voters.
- Centrist Democrats' late endorsements underscore party tensions, as Gov. Kathy Hochul waited until September and House leaders delayed support, while Andrew Cuomo warned Mamdani would 'ruin the city' amid debate after Tuesday's election results.
