The mayoral primary is heating up with nine Democratic contenders against incumbent Mayor Adams. Leading the pack is Mr. Cuomo, whose established name recognition and substantial fundraising efforts have positioned him as a serious threat to Adams. Following him is Zohran Mamdani, a social media-savvy democratic socialist focused on engaging younger voters. Other notable candidates include city comptroller Brad Lander, City Council speaker Adrienne Adams, former comptroller Scott Stringer, and state senators Jessica Ramos and Zellnor Myrie. The dynamics of the race could shift significantly as campaigning intensifies.
Nine Democrats are challenging Mr. Adams, though none are as close to unseating the mayor as Mr. Cuomo, whose ample name recognition has fueled his rise.
Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman from Queens and a social-media-savvy democratic socialist, is building a base of new and younger voters.
