Update (June 24, 2025, 11 p.m.): With roughly 90% of the first-round votes in, Zohran Mamdani topped the field as of Tuesday night, taking 43% to Andrew Cuomo’s 36%. Cuomo appeared to concede the Democratic nomination in a speech—though whether the former governor will run on a separate party’s ticket in the general election remains to be seen—leaving Mamdani’s path to the nomination wide open, with final ranked-choice results expected in the coming days. If Mamdani can defeat incumbent mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa in November, he’ll win himself Gracie Mansion, a major raise and an opportunity to put a left-wing stamp on America’s largest city.
