Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani achieved an unexpected victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary on June 25, 2025. His triumph reflects strong backing from Brooklyn and demonstrates a significant cultural shift within the party toward progressive politics. Currently, with primary votes being tabulated, Mamdani’s substantial support in Brooklyn, where he received nearly half the votes, positions him favorably against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa in the upcoming general election.
"Zohran Mamdani's victory over Andrew Cuomo marks a significant shift in New York City's political landscape, highlighting the growing influence of progressive voices in the Democratic party."
"Brooklyn voters overwhelmingly supported Mamdani, demonstrating a clear preference for new leadership over established political figures like Cuomo, whose support faltered significantly in this latest contest."
