Zohran Mamdani’s decisive victory in the mayoral race Tuesday night broke records in more ways than one. Not only will the Queens Assembly member become the city’s first South Asian and Muslim mayor, and the youngest in more than a century, he also hauled in nearly as many votes — more... In all, voters cast more than 2 million votes, the most since 1969. Nearly 39% of the city’s registered voters turned out to vote in this election.

The last election to see that level of turnout was in 2001, when Michael Bloomberg won his first term as mayor and 41% of voters cast ballots. New York City knows who its next mayor will be. Democrat Zohran Mamdani was projected to win the mayoral race after squaring off against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. Here's a map breaking down how each borough voted, with Mamdani winning four of the five (see how the vote breaks down for the New Jersey governor's race here): Mamdani was projected to be the winner less than an hour after polls closed Tuesday night, but results were still coming in Wednesday morning.

(Follow along here for full Election Day results, including the race for New Jersey governor.) Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) rode a wave of strong support from his home borough and Brooklyn en route to his apparent and stunning upset victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the Democratic mayoral nomination Tuesday. Assuming Mamdani officially clinches the Democratic nomination, he will face off against Mayor Eric Adams, who is running in the general election as an independent, and Curtis Sliwa, who is the sole Republican nominee. Cuomo has said he is exploring the option of an independent run, though he has not made his intent to run in November official yet. Though first-round votes are still trickling in and tabulation will proceed past multiple rounds should no candidate earn a majority outright, data from the New York City Board of Elections provides insight into which...

Here’s a breakdown of the numbers from what we know so far. Across the city, Mamdani is projected to earn about 43.51% of first-choice votes. Cuomo is set to earn 36.42% while City Comptroller Brad Lander is projected for 11.31%, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams is polling at 4.12%, and former City Comptroller Scott Stringer at 1.65%. All other candidates are projected to receive less than 1% of first-choice votes. Brooklyn, the most populous borough in New York City with over 2.6 million residents, was Mamdani’s strongest borough, with 48.77% of tabulated votes so far being for the Assembly member. Cuomo came in far behind with 31.60% of reported votes, and Lander, who cross-endorsed Mamdani as part of a ranked-choice voting strategy, appears to be coming in third with 11.94% of votes.

A timeline of Zohran Mamdani’s rise from little-known lawmaker to mayor-elect of New York City. By Benjamin Oreskes, Umi Syam and Eden Weingart It was not too long ago that Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani was a backbench state legislator running a long-shot bid for mayor of New York City. But with each passing month, his campaign gained momentum, amassing a huge army of volunteers, maxing out on donations and rising in the polls until he won the Democratic primary in June. Now Mr. Mamdani has been elected as the city’s 111th mayor.

A comprehensive timeline of his rise shows how even the smallest of successes set the stage for what followed and laid the groundwork for Mr. Mamdani to become New York City’s youngest chief executive in more than a century. Cruising to re-election in the State Assembly, Mr. Mamdani began meeting during the summer of 2024 over cups of chai with political allies, labor leaders and members of the news media to discuss a run for mayor. The federal indictment in September of Mayor Eric Adams, whose popularity had been plummeting, made clear that there would be ample opportunity for progressive challengers.

When Zohran Mamdani launched his mayoral campaign a year ago, he was a relatively unknown state assemblyman polling at under 1%, but on Tuesday, he coasted to victory with over 50% support in the... Affordability was one avenue. The 34-year-old democratic socialist offered a series of proposals aimed at making notoriously expensive New York City more affordable for people who live there, promising free busing, city-run grocery stores, rent freezes, universal childcare... As one political science expert suggested, it helped that people seemed to believe he could deliver. Drew Engelhardt, an assistant professor of political science at Stony Brook University, tracked the mayoral race and said he thinks voters were willing to gamble on Mamdani because they feel he's a "credible messenger"... "Even if his desired policy agenda faces high hurdles, folks would be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because he's potentially seen as best at understanding the concerns about people like...

The 34-year-old, Ugandan-born Democratic socialist defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an Independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in Tuesday's election, according to a race call by the Associated Press. It's a remarkable ascent for Mamdani, who was a relatively unknown state assemblymember representing a district in Queens when he entered the crowded mayoral race last year. He went on to win June's Democratic primary by 12 percentage points, quickly becoming one of the country's most popular and polarizing politicians along the way. Anthony Izaguirre, Associated Press Anthony Izaguirre, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Zohran Mamdani has won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, a new vote count confirmed Tuesday, cementing his stunning upset of former Gov.

Andrew Cuomo and sending him to the general election. The Associated Press called the race after the results of the city's ranked choice voting tabulation were released and showed Mamdani trouncing Cuomo by 12 percentage points. In a statement, Mamdani said he was humbled by the support he received in the primary and started turning his attention to the general election. "Last Tuesday, Democrats spoke in a clear voice, delivering a mandate for an affordable city, a politics of the future, and a leader unafraid to fight back against rising authoritarianism," he said.

After three rounds, Mamdani received 565,639 votes, surpassing the previous record of 547,901 votes held by David N. Dinkins in 1989, according to updated ranked-choice voting totals released Tuesday by the NYC Board of Elections.

NYC MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI IDENTIFIED AS BLACK, ASIAN ON COLUMBIA APPLICATION: REPORT NEW YORK − State Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani has won the the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor after instant runoff results showed the young progressive winning 56%-44% over former Gov.

Andrew Cuomo. Although Mamdani has been the presumed winner since he finished 7 percentage points ahead of Cuomo on June 24, his 44% of first-place votes fell short of the majority needed to actually win.

The Associated Press called the race for Mamdani on July 1 shortly after those results were announced.
