Overview

• An American Pulse poll shows Zohran Mamdani at 36.9% to Andrew Cuomo’s 24.6%, with Curtis Sliwa at 16.8% and Eric Adams at 11.4%, and 58.4% of voters saying his past anti-police positions make them less likely to support him.
• Adams’ ally Winnie Greco was suspended after handing a reporter a potato-chip bag containing cash, which the journalist turned over to editors and authorities, according to THE CITY’s account.
• Adams must choose a single independent ballot line and, per a campaign spokesperson, is expected to appear on “Safe and Affordable” after election officials said he could not also use “EndAntiSemitism.”
• Mamdani reaffirmed support for decriminalizing prostitution, citing de Blasio-era proposals, and Adams criticized the stance by questioning, “I don’t know what Quran he is reading.”
• Outside spending is intensifying, with Elizabeth Simons donating $250,000 to a pro-Mamdani PAC and a pro-Cuomo network launching MainStream to counter his agenda after Fix the City’s earlier efforts.
