2025 New York City mayoral election

8 sections
  • The 2025 New York City mayoral election, held on the 4th of November 2025, produced a victory speech that opened with a joke about age. "I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older," said the winner, Zohran Mamdani. He was a Democratic state assemblyman, and he took 50.78 percent of the vote against Republican activist Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo, an independent who had once been governor.

    Hugh J. Grant, who held the office in 1892, was the last mayor as young as Mamdani. Mamdani is also the first Muslim and the first South Asian to lead the city, and he succeeded Eric Adams on the 1st of January 2026.

    How did Mamdani, a legislator from the 36th district, beat a former governor who led the Democratic field in early June 2025? Why did the incumbent mayor's name still sit on a ballot he had abandoned? And what happens to a city's politics when a president and a billionaire both weigh in on one local race?

  • In September 2024, a series of investigations into the administration of Mayor Eric Adams came to light. Adams, who had won office in 2021 after narrowly taking the Democratic primary, was then indicted on federal charges. The charges covered bribery, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations. He pleaded not guilty. No earlier New York City mayor had been charged with crimes while in office, and he received several calls to resign.

    An early October 2024 poll by Marist College put his approval rating at just 26 percent. The same poll found that 69 percent of voters believed he should resign. Then, in February 2025, the Justice Department under the second Trump administration told federal prosecutors to drop every charge. The case was dismissed with prejudice in April 2025.

    On the 3rd of April 2025, Adams announced that he was leaving the Democratic primary to run in November as an independent. He circulated petitions for two ballot lines, named EndAntiSemitism and Safe&Affordable. The Board of Elections allowed independent candidates only one line each, although major party nominees can appear on several. On the 22nd of August, Adams formally chose Safe&Affordable.

    On the 8th of July 2025, four former NYPD officers filed separate lawsuits against Adams and senior department officials. Their old posts included chief of detectives and second in command for internal affairs. They alleged in part that Adams enabled corruption and retaliation against people who spoke out. Less than two weeks later, Tom Donlon, a former interim NYPD commissioner, sued as well. He alleged a "coordinated criminal conspiracy" involving forged documents and blocked investigations of executive misconduct.

    In September 2025, The New York Times began reporting that Adams had allegedly met in Florida with Steve Witkoff, an adviser to Donald Trump. The reports said the talks concerned an ambassador post for Adams in exchange for quitting, which would improve the odds of defeating Mamdani. Later reports said Adams was seriously weighing the idea, including whether he would have to resign as mayor, despite public denials. On the 5th of September he declared that he would stay in the race. On the 28th of September he withdrew anyway, as state and national Democrats gathered behind Mamdani. By then it was too late to remove his name from the ballot.

  • In March 2025, Andrew Cuomo announced a run for mayor, hoping to restart a career that stalled when he resigned as governor in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal. He had served as governor from 2011 to 2021 and as federal housing secretary from 1997 to 2001. Polls showed him leading every other Democrat once he declared. Through the spring he stayed the narrow frontrunner, with Assemblymember Mamdani in second, and one June poll gave Mamdani a narrow lead.

    The Democratic primary on the 24th of June 2025 used ranked-choice voting, also called instant-runoff voting, and early voting began on the 14th of June. Mamdani beat Cuomo, City Comptroller Brad Lander and eight other candidates. The field included Adrienne Adams, the City Council speaker, and Scott Stringer, a former comptroller who had run in 2021. It also included Whitney Tilson, a hedge fund manager, and Paperboy Prince, an artist and perennial candidate.

    On the 30th of May 2025, the Working Families Party endorsed Mamdani and told its voters how to rank their choices. Lander was to be second, Adrienne Adams third, Zellnor Myrie fourth and Jessica Ramos fifth. Ana María Archila, a co-director of the party's New York branch, signaled that a Cuomo primary win would likely lead the party to nominate someone else. On the 6th of June, the party dropped Ramos from its slate after she endorsed Cuomo.

    A flat 2 percent tax on New Yorkers earning more than $1 million headlined Mamdani's platform. His housing plans promised a freeze on rents for rent-stabilized units, extensive building and refurbishment of public housing, and stricter regulation of landlords. Some in the luxury real estate market were upset. His win over the favorite was widely treated as a major upset.

    Congressman Ritchie Torres had endorsed Cuomo, while former congressman Jamaal Bowman and former assemblymember Yuh-Line Niou backed Mamdani. Cuomo had formed a minor party called Fight and Deliver in May 2025. After conceding, he confirmed he would stay on the November ballot on that line, and he launched his independent campaign on the 14th of July.

  • Curtis Sliwa, founder and CEO of the Guardian Angels, ran unopposed for the Republican nomination. He had been the party's nominee in 2021 and lost to Adams in a landslide. Rudy Giuliani, mayor from 1994 to 2001, was among those who declined to run. So was John Catsimatidis, who ran Gristedes and D'Agostino Supermarkets and endorsed Adams, then Sliwa, then Cuomo.

    A new ballot line called Protect Animals was created by Sliwa himself, and he made animal rights the center of his campaign. He accused Animal Care Centers of NYC of mistreating animals and pushed for no-kill shelters.

    Jim Walden, a Brooklyn Heights attorney and first-time candidate, presented himself as a business-minded technocrat with an anti-corruption platform. He sued over a law that bars the words independent and independence from political party names.

    The Conservative Party usually cross-endorses Republicans, as it did in the 2013 and 2017 mayoral races. Sliwa said he differed with the party on abortion, LGBTQ rights, gun control and COVID-19 restrictions. The party first picked Paul Briscoe, a Brooklyn resident, who rejected the nomination and gave the party 72 hours to find someone else. It chose Irene Estrada, a registered Democrat elected to Bronx Community Board 11, who needed Wilson Pakula authorization to run as a Conservative. Estrada had lost several earlier races, including two State Assembly bids, two City Council bids and the 2013 public advocate election. In that last race she ran on the War Veterans line even though she is not a veteran.

    Joseph Hernandez, a biotechnology entrepreneur, won the Reform Party's endorsement but appeared on the ballot as an independent. Others fell short of the ballot entirely, among them Karen Stachel, a musician, and Paul Mailhot, an organizer for the Socialist Workers Party. Only three of the candidates, Mamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa, would meet the requirements to share a debate stage.

  • On the 2nd of September 2025, attorney Jim Walden ended his campaign. After Mamdani's primary win, he had asked every non-Mamdani candidate to coalesce around one contender to avoid splitting the vote. He told CBS News on The Point that he would quit by September if he was not leading that group. In leaving, he again urged a one-on-one race and called Mamdani the "most dangerous" option for mayor. His name stayed on the ballot.

    Business executives reportedly began meeting with Adams in the weeks after the primary, weighing whether to back him. Several Republicans pressed Sliwa to quit to help Adams, but on the 7th of July he repeated that he would not.

    On the 1st of July 2025, President Donald Trump described Adams as a "very good person" and said he had "helped him out a little bit." That was a reference to the dropped corruption case. Trump also threatened to arrest Mamdani and floated putting New York under federal control if Mamdani won. At an unrelated press conference, Adams said that "anyone that is an elected or not should never interfere with federal authorities carrying out their functions."

    Mamdani used Hindi commercials and Indian Bollywood music to reach South Asian American voters, often called Desi. His primary win also energized the Democratic Socialists of America, whose convention in Chicago on the 7th of August centered on backing more candidates like him.

    By early August, Sliwa had put aside his iconic red beret, saying it had become too much of a defining issue. He also courted labor unions, presenting himself as pro-worker and against fat cats. Responding to Trump, he cast himself as an anti-Trump Republican who said Trump should stay out of New York politics. In the final weeks, Cuomo and Republican figures including Trump pushed him to quit. Sliwa answered that he would rather be executed and impaled on a stake than drop out and help Cuomo in any way.

    Once his independent campaign began, Cuomo called socialism, in the form Mamdani supports, something that "has never worked anywhere." He opposed free buses, arguing they would cost $900 million, and proposed a $180 million bus subsidy paid for by a higher property tax. On the 6th of August, The New York Times reported that Cuomo had spoken by phone with Trump. His campaign first said they did not discuss politics, then claimed the call never happened. Cuomo reportedly said of Trump, "I know, personally, he doesn't want to fight with me." Mamdani called the call a "betrayal" of Democratic voters and alleged that the two were conspiring to "rig" the election.

    Trump formally endorsed Cuomo the day before the election, alongside Elon Musk. Critics described the move as a "poison pill" and a "final nail in the coffin," because both men are unpopular with New York City Democrats. Republicans in the city generally welcomed it, since it capped weeks of Cuomo's effort to draw voters away from Sliwa.

  • On the 27th of June 2025, Tennessee congressman Andy Ogles asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to denaturalize and deport Mamdani, calling him "little muhammad." The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned that phrase as Islamophobic and racist. After Mamdani's primary win, attacks used Islamophobic tropes, often referring to the 9/11 attacks, and they came from across the political spectrum. Congresswoman Nancy Mace wrote on X, "After 9/11 we said 'Never Forget.' I think we sadly have forgotten." Marjorie Taylor Greene posted an image of the Statue of Liberty wearing a burqa.

    Trump suggested without evidence that Mamdani might be in the country illegally and said his administration would look into it. He also threatened to withhold city funding if Mamdani refused to comply with mass deportations.

    Senator Kirsten Gillibrand told The Brian Lehrer Show that Mamdani supports violence against Jewish people, citing "past positions, particularly references to global jihad." Those claims could not be substantiated, and her office later said she "misspoke." She apologized to Mamdani. Congress members Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen, Dan Goldman and Eric Swalwell criticized his past remarks about the phrase "globalize the intifada."

    On the 23rd of October, Cuomo appeared on the WABC radio show Sid and Friends in the Morning and mused about another 9/11 with Mamdani in office. Host Sid Rosenberg replied, "He'd be cheering," and Cuomo laughed and said, "That's another problem." Mamdani called the comments "disgusting." A leaked mailer proposal on behalf of Cuomo's donors had already drawn backlash for altering Mamdani's photo to resemble a stereotype of Muslim terrorists.

    In July 2025, The New York Times reported that on his unsuccessful 2009 application to Columbia University, Mamdani checked the boxes "Asian" and "Black or African American." He confirmed it, saying he meant to represent his Indian-Ugandan background given limited options, not to improve his chances. Opponents called it potentially fraudulent, while defenders called it legitimate or trivial.

    Cuomo repeatedly alleged that Mamdani was homophobic because of his dual citizenship in Uganda, a country with a hostile record on LGBT rights. In October he pointed to a recent photo of Mamdani with Rebecca Kadaga, Uganda's first deputy prime minister, who pushed legislation in 2023 that made the death penalty available for LGBT Ugandans. Mamdani answered, "Had I known that she was the architect of this horrific legislation and attack on queer Ugandans, I would not have taken it." He promised to make New York an LGBTQ+ sanctuary city. Mamdani, in turn, criticized Cuomo over his father's circulation of homophobic posters against Ed Koch in the 1977 mayoral race. Cuomo, described as a close advisor to that campaign, denied any connection to the signs.

    In August 2025, Cuomo falsely claimed that Mamdani lived in a rent-controlled apartment. Mamdani replied that his apartment is rent-stabilized, that he earned less when he first leased it, and that he plans to move out. In October, the New York Knicks sent a cease-and-desist letter after a Mamdani campaign ad used a logo closely resembling theirs. The team said it did not endorse Mamdani and would pursue all legal remedies.

    Cuomo's mispronunciation of Mamdani's name was first noticed at the 2025 Democratic primary debate. In the general election debates, both Cuomo and Sliwa mispronounced it, and so did Trump and his press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Elon Musk went further, writing "Mumdumi or whatever his name is" in his endorsement of Cuomo. Linguistics professor John McWhorter traced the common error to phonological assimilation. Mamdani said he did not "begrudge anyone who tries and gets it wrong," but compared intentional mispronunciation to othering. The Kashmir Times observed that, unlike Barack Obama, Mamdani pronounces his own name slowly until others get it right.

  • Three poll aggregators gave Mamdani an average of 45.4 percent in the final days, against 32.6 percent for Cuomo and 16.8 percent for Sliwa. Those sources were Decision Desk HQ, RealClearPolitics and Race to the WH. The average put Mamdani ahead by 12.9 points, with 5.2 percent undecided or choosing someone else.

    Two debates took place in October 2025, organized by the New York City Campaign Finance Board and NYC Votes with the broadcasters WNBC and NY1. The first, on the 16th of October, was hosted by WNBC. The second, on the 22nd of October, was hosted by NY1, with Brian Lehrer among the moderators.

    Unlike the primary, the general election used first-past-the-post voting, and the Associated Press called it for Mamdani. About two million votes were cast, including 735,317 early votes. Mamdani passed one million votes, which no candidate had done since John Lindsay in 1969. The race was also the first since 1969 to draw more than two million votes in total.

    Brooklyn gave Mamdani his best result, 404,195 votes, or 57.1 percent. Staten Island was the exception, where Cuomo won 55.2 percent after the borough backed Sliwa in 2021. It was the first time since 1985 that Staten Island did not go to a Republican. Yet it was also Sliwa's best borough at 21.2 percent, only 2,921 votes behind Mamdani. His largest raw vote total came from Queens, with 51,702 votes. In the Bronx, which Cuomo had carried in the primary, Mamdani won 51.75 percent.

    Across congressional districts, Mamdani won nine to Cuomo's four, taking an outright majority in seven. His strongest was the 7th district, where he took more than two thirds of the vote, and he also topped 60 percent in the 10th and 13th. Cuomo did best in the 3rd district, the third-wealthiest in the city and the eleventh-wealthiest in the country. He also won the nation's wealthiest, the 12th, and the plurality-Asian 6th. Sliwa's best showing, 19.7 percent, came in the 11th, the city's only district represented by a Republican.

    Age split the electorate sharply. The Wall Street Journal reported that Mamdani won 78 percent of voters aged 18-29 and 66 percent of those aged 30-44. Cuomo took 47 percent of voters aged 45-64 and 56 percent of those 65 and older. An NBC News poll found Mamdani won 81 percent of voters who had lived in the city fewer than ten years, but only 39 percent of those born there. A CBS News poll showed 66 percent of first-time voters choosing him.

    Jewish voters preferred Cuomo, with 63 percent to 33 percent for Mamdani and 3 percent for Sliwa. In precincts with heavy Orthodox Jewish populations, Cuomo won nearly 80 percent. Mamdani took 61 percent of residents in mostly Black areas and 57 percent in mostly Hispanic areas, while Cuomo won 52 percent in mostly White areas.

    In the exit poll, 55 percent of voters named the cost of living as their top issue, and Mamdani won 66 percent of them. Crime was the top concern for 22 percent, and Cuomo took 67 percent of those voters.

  • Sliwa conceded at 9:24 pm while addressing supporters at an Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side. He did not name Mamdani in the speech, but he issued a warning: "If you try to implement socialism, if you try to render our police weak and impotent, if you forsake the people's public safety, we're not only organizing, but we are mobilizing." Several minutes later he phoned Mamdani to congratulate him.

    Cuomo's concession speech noted that his vote share on an independent line beat what his father, Mario Cuomo, won on the Liberal Party line in the 1977 mayoral race. He told supporters, "we will all help any way we can, because we need our New York City government to work." He did not call Mamdani. Commentators judged the loss the end of his political career, and state senator Liz Krueger said he never "figured out why he was doing this and what mattered to him."

    Around 11:30 pm, Mamdani addressed his supporters with a speech that opened with a quote from the American socialist Eugene V. Debs. He rejected the centrist politics of the Democratic establishment, saying "convention has held us back" and that Democrats had "bowed at the altar of caution." He also quoted Jawaharlal Nehru and invoked Fiorello La Guardia. Of Cuomo he said, "let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

    The Times called the speech "notably short on conciliatory language." Mamdani's speechwriter, Julian Gerson, told CNN the defiant tone was intentional, because civility was not warranted toward politicians like Cuomo and Trump given their treatment of voters. The next day, Mamdani said voters had handed him a mandate, including taxing the rich.

    London mayor Sadiq Khan said New Yorkers had faced a clear choice between hope and fear, and that as in London, hope won. On the British left, Zack Polanski and Jeremy Corbyn hoped the result might signal a revival of democratic socialism there. Many Democrats congratulated Mamdani, though Adams did not. Senator Chuck Schumer, who had declined to endorse Mamdani or say how he voted, rejected the idea that he was out of touch with his party. Republicans saw the win, alongside other losses in the 2025 elections, as bad news for their party, or as a sign of the city sliding into communism.

    Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said he would work with Mamdani if asked, though other chief executives disagreed. Outgoing Detroit mayor Mike Duggan saw New Yorkers' demand for change as a chance to deliver it. Officials in states such as New Hampshire, Tennessee and Florida promoted the idea of New York businesses relocating, and Trump told companies that Miami was a refuge. Texas governor Greg Abbott said he would impose a 100 percent tariff on New Yorkers moving to Texas, then said he was joking.

    On the morning of the 5th of November, local chapters of major Jewish organizations, including UJA-Federation of New York, the Anti-Defamation League of New York/New Jersey and the New York Board of Rabbis, issued a joint statement. They said they "cannot ignore that the mayor-elect holds core beliefs fundamentally at odds with our community's deepest convictions and most cherished values." Ted Deutch of the American Jewish Committee vowed to hold Mamdani to account. Many politicians in Israel condemned the result. The Nexus Project called the Anti-Defamation League's plan to monitor Mamdani's administration for antisemitism "divisive, hyperbolic and aggressive."
