The nation’s biggest city will pick its next mayor on Tuesday in an election that has sparked debate over the future of the Democratic Party. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state assembly member and democratic socialist who jolted the party with his victory in the New York City primary in June, will take on former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the second time. Cuomo lost the Democratic primary and is running as an independent. Curtis Sliwa is the Republican nominee for the second consecutive election. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams initially planned to seek reelection as an independent, but amid sub-basement approval ratings, he dropped out in late September. He will remain on the ballot. President Donald Trump this evening urged New York City voters to cast their ballots for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as a third-party candidate, over Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. He said in a Truth Social post that a vote for Sliwa is a vote for Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.
