What to Know
- Who will be on the ticket in November to be the next mayor of New York City? That’s what was determined on Tuesday’s primary election for the Democrats
- Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani had been leading the polls in the increasingly tight race
- Cuomo, the former governor of New York, had been the frontrunner in every poll for months, ever since he entered the race relatively late, in March
- But the latest poll released just before Primary Day showed Mamdani had not only closed the gap, but may have a slight lead in the race
- Nine candidates in all were running, including: Brad Lander, Scott Stringer, Adrienne Adams, Michael Blake, Zellnor Myrie, Jessica Ramos and Whitney Tilson. Other candidates who weren't polling as high included Dr. Selma Bartholomew and Paperboy Love Prince.
New York City Democrats had to decide whether to give Andrew Cuomo another shot, boost upstart Zohran Mamdani or give a potentially less-polarizing candidate a chance in the party's mayoral primary on Tuesday.
And while the race would not be completely determined by the end of Tuesday night, the decision was fairly clear: They were going with Mamdani.
That was not the only primary being decided, though. New Yorkers also voted for Republicans and Democrats in the races for public advocate, city comptroller, district attorneys and city council members. Anthony Weiner is among the latter running.
