Betting sites believe Zohran Mamdani is the clear favourite to win this year’s New York mayoral election, but Eric Adams still has a chance of retaining the post. New Yorkers will head to the polls in November to vote for a new mayor, and Adams will defend the seat he won in 2021.

MSNBC's Rev. Al Sharpton urges Andrew Cuomo to withdraw from New York City mayoral race, suggesting a one-on-one contest would better serve residents.

Zohran Mamdani became the Democratic candidate for New York City Mayor Tuesday, bolstered by a coalition of younger and middle-class voters across Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. The decisive win comes ahead of the first competitive general election in New York City in more than a decade.

Zohran Mamdani's New York mayoral primary prompted a variety of reactions among the city's Democrats, with some vowing to oppose him and others offering support.

By January, state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assembly Members Zohran Mamdani and Harvey Epstein could all be serving in city government, triggering special elections to replace them in the state Legislature.

Tuesday’s release includes ranked choice tabulations of all in-person votes and mail-in votes received and processed by Election Day. The BOE will continue to release tabulations for any remaining ballots, including cured affidavit ballots, on a weekly basis.

This drew the ire of President Donald Trump, who falsely claimed that Mamdani, who moved to the US at seven and was naturalized in 2018, was in the country illegally. Representative Andy Ogles hurled Islamophobic epithets at Mamdani on X and called for him to be denaturalized and kicked out of the country.

Zohran Mamdani clinched victory Tuesday in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York, cementing an upset that already has shaken national politics.
