Overview
Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, 34, holds a significant lead of over 14 points against Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race, campaigning on making the city more affordable.
Andrew Cuomo is attempting a political comeback in the mayoral election, four years after resigning as governor amidst denied sexual harassment allegations, now trailing Mamdani.
New York City has seen unprecedented early voter turnout, with over 735,000 ballots cast, quadrupling the numbers from the 2021 mayoral general election.
The race has drawn national attention, with a Republican president and Trump reportedly threatening Mamdani, and polls suggesting a potential exodus of nearly one million New Yorkers if he wins.
Voters will elect New York City's next mayor on November 4, with Mamdani, Cuomo, and independent candidate Curtis Sliwa actively campaigning across the boroughs.
