Mamdani formally wins Democratic primary for NYC mayor

  • On July 2, 2025, Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary with 56% over Cuomo’s 44%, becoming the presumptive NYC mayoral nominee and first Muslim major-party candidate.
  • Mamdani's campaign, driven by promises of free childcare, rent freezes, and higher taxes on the wealthy, surged from 7% support in January to win by eight points, fueled by voter frustration with the cost-of-living crisis.
  • Data confirms Mamdani won 56% over Cuomo’s 44% after multiple ranked-choice voting rounds, with the margin widening as tabulations progressed.
  • Mamdani advances to the November general election, facing Mayor Eric Adams, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and Cuomo as an independent amid opposition from donors and some Republicans calling for his deportation.
  • Mamdani’s primary upset, seen as a political breakthrough, prompted Wall Street and real estate firms to spend $25 million to oppose him, signaling a seismic shift in city politics.
