Mamdani's Upset Victory In Democratic Mayoral Primary: What We Know
NEW YORK CITY, JUN 25 – Zohran Mamdani won with about 43.5% in a primary driven by voter frustration over affordability, promising rent freezes and free childcare amid NYC's rising living costs.
- Zohran Mamdani, a Queens state assemblyman, pulled off a surprise win over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s crowded Democratic primary for New York City mayor.
- Mamdani’s victory followed Cuomo’s concession late Tuesday night despite Cuomo’s name recognition, financial support, and party endorsements, and the final ranked-choice results are pending.
- Mamdani secured about 43.5% of the vote and has vowed to freeze rents, eliminate NYC bus fares, make CUNY tuition-free, and raise the minimum wage, while opponents warn of business losses.
- Political strategist Trip Yang called Mamdani’s win the biggest recent New York City upset, and governor Kathy Hochul praised voters for demanding a more affordable city.
- In the November 4 general election, Mamdani will compete against the current mayor, Eric Adams—who is seeking reelection independently—and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a ratio of eight to one.
