Mamdani Holds Poll Lead as Cuomo and Adams Go Independent

Senior Democrats are withholding endorsement after Republican committees nationwide branded him a socialist liability

Overview

  • Zohran Mamdani leads general election polls with roughly one-third of voter support as the Democratic nominee.
  • Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams have both launched independent campaigns, raising concerns of a fractured anti-Mamdani vote.
  • Wealthy donors and PACs have committed tens of millions of dollars to oppose Mamdani but remain divided over whether to back Cuomo or Adams.
  • Media personality Bo Dietl and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani joined forces to raise $10 million through an outside group aimed at defeating Mamdani.
  • The NRCC and NRSC have aired national ads linking House Democrats to Mamdani’s democratic socialist platform, and senior party leaders have refrained from endorsement.
