Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old Queens assemblyman and the popular Democratic nominee, built his campaign around a central issue: affordability in one of the world’s most expensive cities. Born in Uganda and raised in New York City, Mamdani is a self-described democratic socialist who will now become the city’s first Muslim mayor.

Projections by the NBC News Decision Desk. Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the city’s most liberal mayor in generations. In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises. With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa.

He will also become the city’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1. Mamdani’s unlikely rise gives credence to Democrats who have urged the party to embrace more progressive, left-wing candidates instead of rallying behind centrists in hopes of winning back swing voters who have abandoned the... He has already faced scrutiny from national Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who have eagerly cast him as a threat and the face of what they say is a more radical Democratic Party. Democrat Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, becoming the youngest man picked to lead the five boroughs in modern history in what is widely seen as a watershed moment... Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist who will also be the city’s first-ever Muslim and South Asian mayor, was declared the winner of the 2025 race for City Hall by the Associated Press shortly after...

The election was marked by massive turnout, with more than 2 million votes cast and Mamdani capturing more than a million of them himself, according to early Board of Elections tabulations. It wasn’t immediately clear if he’d ultimately clinch an outright majority of the vote — a key benchmark — once all ballots get counted. Still, with nearly 98% of votes tabulated, Mamdani led his closest opponent, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, by more than 150,000 ballots — a 50.4% to 41.5% margin that the mayor-elect declared is “a mandate” for enacting his affordability agenda. “New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change, a mandate for a city we can afford and a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that,” Mamdani said at his election night... As for Cuomo, Mamdani sneered: “I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life.

But let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on the politics that abandon the many and answers only to the few.” NEW YORK (WABC) -- Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city's first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become the city's youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.

Mamdani promised to bring New York City into an age of "relentless improvement" as he claimed victory in the mayoral race late Tuesday night. He said his win was one for the working people of New York and reiterated his campaign promises on affordability. "Let the words we've spoken together, the dreams we've dreamt together, become the agenda we deliver together," Mamdani said. "New York, this power, it's yours. This city belongs to you. Thank you."

It is official: Zohran Mamdani is projected to win the election to be the next mayor of New York City, according to NBC News and Decision Desk HQ. The 34-year-old assemblyman and democratic socialist sailed to victory during Tuesday’s election, trouncing former governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa. He will be the city’s first Muslim mayor. Mamdani won the Democratic primary in June by a landslide, a stunning upset that took both everyday New Yorkers and the wider Democratic Establishment by surprise.

Before the primary, Mamdani’s campaign was believed to be a long shot against Cuomo, who resigned from office in 2021 amid a slew of sexual-harassment allegations. But Mamdani — the first democratic socialist since David Dinkins to be elected mayor — won over New Yorkers with the promise of making the city an affordable place for all, freezing rent, making... Mamdani ran a campaign as tireless as it was creative. Some 50,000 volunteers knocked on 1.5 million doors before the primary, and throughout the race, he held events like a citywide scavenger hunt, an interborough soccer tournament, and a debate-night bingo game for seniors. He made surprise appearances at concerts — including for PinkPantheress, Wu Tang Clan, and onstage with Lucy Dacus at All Things Go — and ran a series of reality-TV–themed ads that ran during Survivor... Mamdani also faced racism and Islamophobia throughout his campaign, frequently facing attacks for his vocal support for Palestinian rights.

Though he was popular with voters, a number of centrist Democrats dragged their feet endorsing him: Governor Kathy Hochul waited until September to throw her support behind Mamdani, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries... Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, meanwhile, didn’t endorse him at all; neither did New York senator Kristen Gillibrand, who over the summer falsely accused Mamdani of making “references to global jihad” (she later apologized). He did, however, garner endorsements from a number of progressives, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke at a rally for him ahead of the election. NEW YORK − Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist state Assembly member, upset mainstream Democratic politics by defying expectations and taking a commanding lead in the June 24 New York City mayoral primary. Just after midnight, he addressed supporters, saying he and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the moderate Democrat who was the frontrunner, need to bring the nation's largest city together.

"Tonight, we made history," Mamdani boasted to a celebrating crowd in Queens. With 96% of the vote counted, Mamdani led Cuomo 44% to 36% in first place votes. Less than two hours after polls closed on June 24, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 67, had said he already called Mamdani to congratulate him on his historic campaign. The New York City mayoral race drew national attention as a test for the left as democratic socialist Mamdani faced former governor Cuomo.

Mamdani defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo by eight points, drawing 50 to his 42 percent of the vote with 98 percent of ballots reported. Guardian Angels founder and perennial gadfly Curtis Sliwa came in a distant third at seven percent. “We won because New Yorkers allowed themselves to hope that the impossible could be made possible,” Mamdani told a crowded room at the Paramount Theater in Brooklyn on Tuesday. “And we won because politics is no longer something that is done to us — now it is something that we do.” “Years from now,” he said, “let our only regret be that this day took so long to come.”

On Tuesday, the city’s Board of Elections released the final results of the ranked-choice mayoral primary, showing Zohran Mamdani trouncing Andrew Cuomo for the Democratic nomination. Mamdani won 56 percent to Cuomo’s 44 percent once all other candidates were eliminated and their votes were given to the top two finishers in the third round of voting. In the final round, Mamdani picked up 99,069 additional votes from his eliminated challengers, nearly double the 53,493 votes gained by Cuomo in the tabulation. The strong showing is likely a result of the heavily-promoted “Don’t Rank Cuomo” strategy which urged voters to leave him off their ballot entirely. That approach culminated in a late cross-endorsement between Mamdani and comptroller Brad Lander who placed third overall in the primary, with both candidates asking their supporters to rank the other second.

“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,” Mamdani said in a... “I am humbled by the support of more than 545,000 New Yorkers who voted for our campaign and am excited to expand this coalition even further as we defeat Eric Adams and win a... Cuomo, who had previously vowed to run on an independent line in the fall regardless of the primary results, has been vague about his plans since his stunning defeat last Tuesday. Though he missed the deadline to drop his independent bid from the November ballot, he told reporters he would make a decision about the general election following the official results. In the meantime, some of his key primary endorsers have lined up behind Mamdani, including the influential Hotel and Gaming Trades Council and 32BJ SEIU unions, as well as Brooklyn Democratic boss Rodneyse Bichotte...
