Andrew Cuomo Leads NYC Mayoral Race with $3 Million War Chest

Cuomo emerges as the frontrunner in the Democratic primary, outpacing rivals in fundraising and polling despite past scandals.

Andrew Cuomo has raised $1.5 million in 13 days since announcing his candidacy, with significant support from 2,821 donors and a super PAC contributing an additional $1.5 million.
Cuomo is leading in polls with 31% support, ahead of incumbent Mayor Eric Adams at 11% and progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani at 8%.
Zohran Mamdani has raised $845,000 since January, supported by 11,000 contributors, and is expected to receive over $4 million in public matching funds.
Eric Adams, struggling with low approval ratings and lingering fallout from bribery allegations, raised just $36,000 in the first quarter of 2025.
The race reflects a clash of political priorities, with Cuomo's comeback bid, Mamdani's progressive platform, and Adams' embattled incumbency shaping the Democratic primary ahead of the June 24 election.
