US EditionNew York City Democrats Face Pivotal Mayoral Primary Decision
- New York City Democrats are voting on June 25, 2025, in a mayoral primary pitting former governor Andrew Cuomo against progressive assemblyman Zohran Mamdani and other candidates.
- The primary follows Cuomo’s 2021 resignation amid a sexual harassment scandal involving at least 11 women, clouding his comeback bid amid a crowded field and ideological division.
- Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist backed by AOC and Bernie Sanders, focuses on affordability with proposals for free buses, universal childcare, subsidized groceries, and rent freezes for 1 million tenants.
- Cuomo emphasizes experience, saying, “There is no free lunch,” and highlights competence dealing with government and public safety, while accusing Mamdani of inexperience and hateful language against Jews he opposes.
- The ranked choice voting system may delay a winner for a week, with the outcome potentially shaping the Democratic Party's approach amid rising tensions, and the primary winner will face incumbent independent Eric Adams.
