Overview

• Early voting concluded on June 14 and the final primary vote is set for June 24 with Cuomo and Mamdani running neck and neck.
• Cuomo faces ongoing scrutiny over 2021 sexual harassment findings and has drawn late support from wealthy donors, with a pro‐Cuomo group raising $24 million including $8.3 million from Michael Bloomberg.
• Mamdani, backed by the Working Families Party, has mobilized progressive activists with promises of sweeping reforms even as critics question his legislative track record.
• Because ranked‐choice transfers could upend results, both campaigns have urged voters to list them as their top choice and avoid ranking the rival candidate.
• The general election field is already taking shape with incumbent Eric Adams running as an independent and Curtis Sliwa leading the Republican ticket.
