 Presumptive Democratic nominee

Zohran Mamdani

The Democratic Party primary for the 2025 New York City mayoral election took place on June 24, 2025. Voters ranked up to five candidates using ranked-choice voting. The early voting period began on June 14.[1] Incumbent mayor Eric Adams did not run in the primary, instead choosing to compete for re-election as an independent in the general contest.

First-choice results on election night showed Mamdani had a large lead ahead of Cuomo.[2] Cuomo conceded the race to Mamdani in what is considered to be a major upset victory.[3] Final tabulation and certification will occur over the next several weeks.[4] The primary was the largest in New York City's history, almost reaching the same turnout as the 2021 New York City mayoral general election.

Background

[edit]
See also: 2025 New York City mayoral election § Background, and Investigations into the Eric Adams administration

In 2019, New York City voters passed Ballot Question #1 to amend the City Charter to allow for voters the choice of ranking up to five candidates in primary and special elections for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and city council, starting in January 2021.[5] This primary was the second time ranked-choice voting is used in the New York City mayoral primary, following its use during the 2021 New York City Democratic mayoral primary.[6]

In the 2021 primary, then Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams was narrowly selected as the nominee with 50.4% of the final round vote over former New York City Department of Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia, who won 49.6%.[7]

City-wide elections in New York City are solidly Democratic, meaning the nominee chosen is likely to become the favorite to win the general election.[8] Prior to the primary, former Governor of New York from 2011–2021 Andrew Cuomo emerged as the favourite, beating every other candidate in opinion polls and additionally forming his own party, Fight and Deliver, to would allow him onto the general election ballot in the event he did not win the Democratic primary.[9]

Campaign

[edit]

Early in the campaign, incumbent mayor Eric Adams was criticized for his handling of policing, the city budget, and the influx of migrants. By September 2024, Comptroller Brad Lander, former Comptroller Scott Stringer, state Senator Zellnor Myrie, and state Senator Jessica Ramos had announced campaigns for mayor.[35][36] Adams increasingly faced calls to resign after being indicted on September 25, which resulted in multiple city officials resigning.[37] Following the scandal, multiple additional candidates announced their campaigns to challenge Eric Adams, including investor Whitney Tilson,[38] former state Assemblymember Michael Blake,[39] and state Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.[40]

In March, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was forced to resign amid a sexual harassment scandal, and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams announced their campaigns.[41][42] The progressive "Don't Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor (DREAM) for NYC" campaign urged voters not to rank Eric Adams or Cuomo on their ballots.[43] In April, Eric Adams withdrew from the Democratic primary race and announced that he would continue to seek re-election as an independent candidate.[44] That same month, the criminal charges against Eric Adams were dismissed at the request of the Department of Justice, which argued that the case distracted him from enforcing President Trump's immigration program.[45]

Mamdani's campaign focused on affordability, proposing a rent freeze, free buses, and universal childcare.[46][47][48] Cuomo's campaign focused on crime, supporting an increase in police and building housing.[49] Lander's campaign supported building housing, services to immigrants, and investment in education. Adrienne Adams' campaign supported closing Rikers Island and investment in housing and education. Stringer's campaign supports recruiting more police and ethics reform.[50] Myrie's campaign supported building more housing.[51] Blake's campaign supported tax incentives for businesses and funding mental services.[52] Ramos's campaign supported improving mental health services. Tilson's campaign largely focused on education.[53]

Since entering the race, Cuomo consistently led in polls, with Mamdani emerging in second place.[54][55] In May, in response to a request from Republican members of Congress, the Justice Department opened an investigation into Cuomo's testimony before Congress regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in New York.[56] The polling margin between Cuomo and Mamdani began to shrink in June,[57] though most polls continued to show a Cuomo lead.[58] Cuomo created the "Fight and Deliver Party", which he planned to run on regardless of the outcome of the primary.[59] The Working Families Party said it was very unlikely to endorse Cuomo if he won.[60]

The first debate was held on June 4, where Cuomo was pressed on his sexual harassment allegations and the frontrunners shared their stances on Israel.[61][62] The second and final debate was held on June 12, where Cuomo was again criticized for his record, with increased attention to his administration's nursing home scandal, and Mamdani was criticized for his inexperience and identity as a socialist.[63]

Prominent endorsements for Mamdani included the Working Families Party,[64] Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,[65] and Senator Bernie Sanders.[66] Cuomo received endorsements from former mayor Michael Bloomberg, who also donated millions of dollars to his super PAC,[67] Representative Jim Clyburn,[68] and former President Bill Clinton.[69] On June 6, Ramos endorsed Cuomo while remaining on the primary ballot.[70] During the second debate, Tilson endorsed Cuomo second.[71] Mamdani and Lander cross-endorsed each other for second place,[72] and Mamdani and Blake cross-endorsed each other a few days later.[73] On June 16, the New York Times editorial board advised voters not to rank Mamdani while criticizing Cuomo.[74]

On June 18, Mamdani was criticized for appearing to defend the phrase "globalize the intifada" by describing it as "a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights", also denouncing antisemitism and saying the city should increase anti-hate crime funding.[75] On June 19, Lander was briefly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement while escorting an immigrant out of a court hearing in Manhattan.[76][77][78] On June 20, Mamdani walked the length of Manhattan for seven hours, meeting supporters along the way.[79]

Fundraising

[edit]

In addition to candidate's campaign accounts, super PACs are allowed to make independent expenditures supporting or opposing candidates so long as they do not officially coordinate with candidates. Unlike public matching fund-participating campaign accounts which have a $8 million spending cap, independent expenditure groups have no limit.[266]

Results

[edit]
Democratic voters in the 2025 primary elections cast their ballots at Jackie Robinson Recreation Center.
Bivariate results by borough (Mamdani vs Cuomo)

384,251 people voted early in the primary, more than double the turnout of 2021.[268] As of June 20, there are 45,597 scanned, valid mail-in ballots.[269]

The Board of Elections released unofficial results of the first-choice votes on election night.[4] Unofficial results of all rankings will come a week later, taking into account mail-in ballots received after election night, cured ballots, and provisional ("affidavit") ballots.[4] Official results are expected in mid-July.[4]

On the night of the election, with about 90% of the votes counted, Mamdani led Cuomo by about seven percentage points, becoming the presumptive winner and prompting Cuomo to concede at around 11:15 p.m. that night.[270][271] Lander gave his concession speech at Mamdani's watch party, with chants of "Brad Brad Brad" as he hugged Mamdani supporters. Afterward, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez addressed the crowd, followed by Attorney General Letitia James, before Mamdani finally addressed supporters, claiming victory at 12:20 a.m.[2]

Mamdani's coalition consisted of "the in-between", winning the middle and upper-middle classes, and White, Hispanic, and Asian voters, while making inroads with young Black voters. Cuomo's coalition won Black and Jewish voters, as well as the lower and upper classes.[272][273]

Aftermath

[edit]

Mamdani's apparent win was widely viewed as an upset victory over Cuomo,[275][276][277] and emblematic of the ongoing struggle between left-wing and centrist factions of the Democratic Party following Democratic losses in the 2024 elections and beyond.[275][276] Jerry Nadler, a Democrat representing parts of Manhattan in the House of Representatives, described the result as a "seismic election for the Democratic Party that I can only compare to Barack Obama's in 2008", and endorsed Mamdani.[278] President Donald Trump, originally a resident of Queens, called the result "a big moment in the History of our Country!"[279]

The New York Times reported that the night following the primary, independent mayoral candidate Eric Adams met with a loose consortium of hedge fund managers, landlords, and cryptocurrency moguls who were "aghast" at the result and seeking a strategy to oppose Mamdani in the general election.[280] CNBC reported that figures on Wall Street were "alarmed" and "depressed".[281] Conversely, labor unions including SEIU 32BJ and the New York State Nurses Association endorsed Mamdani in the week following the primary.[282]

After conceding the primary, Cuomo neither confirmed nor denied whether he would run as an independent in the general election against Mamdani, Adams, Sliwa, and Walden on his "Fight and Deliver" line.[283] On June 26, sources close to Cuomo told CNN that he would remain in the race as an independent.[284] Cuomo's brother Chris, whose efforts to defend Andrew against a sexual misconduct scandal led to his termination from CNN several years prior, gravely pronounced Mamdani an "open socialist" and declared the Democratic Party "dead".[285]

He made regular appearances on Black-focused media, including radio shows with large Black audiences like "The Breakfast Club" and "Ebro in the Morning." His campaign also put out an advertisement with young, Black democratic socialists who said his commitment to affordability would make the city more livable for Black New Yorkers struggling to stay. Some on the Cuomo team believe that in the end Mr. Mamdani may have actually topped the former governor among younger Black voters.
