Overview
- Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. after a record early vote of more than 735,000 ballots across New York City.
- Surveys show Zohran Mamdani as the front-runner around the mid-40s in support ahead of Andrew Cuomo, with Curtis Sliwa trailing, though one late poll reported a tighter gap.
- President Donald Trump urged New Yorkers to back Cuomo and warned he could restrict federal funds to the city if Mamdani wins.
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted on X that he would impose a “100% tariff” on New Yorkers moving to Texas, drawing fresh attention to the race.
- Authorities in New Jersey briefly relocated voting at several sites after emailed bomb threats deemed not credible by law enforcement.
