Mamdani formally wins Democratic primary for NYC mayor
- On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary by defeating Andrew Cuomo 56% to 44% in ranked choice voting.
- Mamdani won after running a campaign centered around making the city more affordable, pledging initiatives such as free public transportation, child care services, a rent freeze for tenants in rent-controlled apartments, and government-operated grocery stores, all financed by taxing the wealthy.
- The results released by the Board of Elections confirmed Mamdani's upset, and Cuomo's spokesperson downplayed the significance, calling the results representative of only a slice of the electorate.
- More than 545,000 New Yorkers voted for Mamdani's campaign—the highest turnout in a mayoral primary since 1989—and President Trump called Mamdani a "communist" threatening arrest if he blocks ICE agents as mayor.
- Mamdani will face incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, running as an independent, along with Jim Walden and Curtis Sliwa in the general election, amid mounting opposition from both major parties to his progressive policies.
