US EditionUp Close Election Special: Closer Look at the Candidates for New York City Mayor
- The 2025 New York City mayoral race features incumbent Eric Adams running as an independent, while Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani campaign in the Democratic primary.
- Adams skipped the June 24 primary amid federal gift allegations later dropped, Cuomo entered after resigning as governor in 2021 due to harassment claims, and Mamdani runs as a progressive socialist.
- Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman, leads Cuomo, 67, in recent polls but faces a harsh New York Times editorial criticizing his agenda as unsuitable and urging voters not to rank him.
- The Times noted Mamdani’s agenda includes rent freezes and free services but argued it risks worsening housing supply and public safety; the editorial also criticized former Mayor de Blasio and progressives’ management.
- With over 7.4 million registered voters and early voting underway, the primary outcome remains critical amid a divided electorate concerned about crime, housing, and governance challenges in the city.
