#primary-election

A few days after June 24, two major unions-representing hotel workers (HTC) and building staffers (32BJ SEIU)-shifted their endorsements from Cuomo to Mamdani. Both active and retired members of these large unions helped Zohran gain over a half-million more votes than he received in round one of the June primary. Like 32BJ and HTC, county Democratic leaders Keith Wright and Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn quickly shifted their support from Cuomo to Mamdani after he became the nominee.

Over 70 percent of voters filled out all five slots but did not rank Andrew Cuomo, with only 8 percent of voters who ranked Mamdani first also ranking Cuomo.

New Yorkers can shape the city's future by participating in crucial local races during the June 24 primary, with voter registration verification available online.
