Democrat Zohran Mamdani won the three-way race for New York City mayor, CBS News projects — defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani, 34, is a democratic socialist who promised rent freezes and free buses during his campaign. Cuomo was backed by several establishment Democrats — and even by President Trump. The race is all but certain to fuel debate over Democrats' future going into the midterms, a year after losing the presidency, the House and the Senate in 2024. Mamdani held the lead in four of the city's five boroughs, with strong showings in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx and a closer margin in Queens, while Cuomo dominated in Staten Island.
