Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani, the two leading candidates in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, campaigned actively on Primary Day in oppressive heat. Cuomo, the former governor, faced a challenge in the polls as his lead narrowed ahead of the election. Despite his controversial past, including resignation amid harassment allegations, he cast his vote for himself and encouraged voter turnout. Massive financial backing for his campaign has also led to aggressive attacks on Mamdani, who is seen as a prominent challenger in the race.
Although Cuomo had been leading in the polls by a wide margin for much of the primary, he and Mamdani were neck-and-neck in a bombshell Emerson College poll released on Monday.
Cuomo indicated that he only voted for himself in the mayoral race, leaving the other four slots in the ranked-choice primary blank.
