Overview

  • With 90.91% of ballot scanners reporting as of 10 p.m. on June 24, Zohran Mamdani leads Andrew Cuomo 43.52% to 36.28%
  • Neither candidate has secured a majority, so the city Board of Elections will conduct ranked-choice tabulations by July 1 to determine the nominee
  • Endorsements from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders and strong youth turnout have fueled Mamdani’s surge
  • Cuomo’s centrist campaign is backed by moderate Democrats, a billionaire-funded Super PAC and a platform centered on public safety and experience
  • The Democratic nominee is poised to face independent Eric Adams and other contenders in the November general election
