Overview

• A Marist Institute poll shows Cuomo leading Mamdani 55% to 45% in the final ranked-choice voting round, down from a 24-point advantage last month
• Zohran Mamdani has secured endorsements from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and formed cross-endorsement pacts with Brad Lander and Michael Blake to boost his ranked-choice support
• Fix the City super PAC has raised $24 million, including a $5.3 million Michael Bloomberg donation, to fund ads defending Cuomo and criticizing Mamdani’s experience
• More than 160,000 New Yorkers cast early ballots in the first five days of voting as candidates ramp up final-week campaigning
• Cuomo has challenged Mamdani over his refusal to denounce the phrase “globalize the intifada,” while Mamdani maintains his focus on housing affordability and public safety for all residents
