Overview
- Voters are choosing among Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in a three‑way race to replace Eric Adams.
- President Donald Trump urged New Yorkers to back Cuomo and attacked Mamdani on Truth Social, warning that New York could see only minimal federal funds if Mamdani wins.
- Rabbi Angela Buchdahl accused Mamdani of helping mainstream antisemitism and cited his 2023 remark linking the NYPD and the IDF as crossing a line.
- Recent surveys show Mamdani leading: Marist puts him up 48%–32% over Cuomo with Sliwa at 16%, a Fox News poll shows 47%–31%–15%, and AtlasIntel finds a narrower 43.9%–39.4% gap.
- Outside groups have poured tens of millions into pro‑Cuomo efforts as Sliwa resists pressure to exit, with prominent backers like Michael Bloomberg and Eric Adams aligning with Cuomo.
