Overview
- Polls are open until 9 p.m. local time as voters choose among Democrat Zohran Mamdani, independent Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
- Aggregated surveys show Mamdani leading in the mid‑40s, with results expected to begin shortly after polls close.
- Trump endorsed Cuomo, branded Mamdani a communist, urged Jewish voters to oppose him, and warned of limited federal funding if Mamdani wins, a threat constrained by federal law.
- Early voting set a city record with more than 730,000 ballots cast, and some outlets project total turnout could approach 1.5–2 million.
- Israel’s consul general in New York labeled Mamdani a danger to the Jewish community, and if elected he would become the city’s first Muslim mayor.
