Maps: See the New York Neighborhoods That Swept Mamdani to Victory

Zohran Mamdani triumphed in the New York mayoral election on Tuesday, having expanded the coalition that carried him to victory in the Democratic primary in June.

Mr. Mamdani handily defeated former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who lost in the primary before running as an independent, and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate. By Wednesday morning, with an estimated 91 percent of the vote tallied, Mr. Mamdani had secured 50.4 percent of the vote, a nearly nine-point margin over Mr. Cuomo, his nearest rival.

Mr. Mamdani had a strong showing across the city among most racial and ethnic groups and most income levels.

In mostly Black precincts, voters backed him decisively — a major shift from the primary,when those areas supported Mr. Cuomo — and he expanded his lead in areas with mostly Hispanic residents. He also captured a majority of the vote in low- and middle-income areas.

Lower-income residents Advertisement 15% of precincts	51%	43%	5%
Middle-income residents 80% of precincts Advertisement	51%	41%	8%

Mr. Mamdani’s strongest performance was with younger voters. He carried precincts where the median registered voter’s age was 45 or younger, beating Mr. Cuomo by 30 percentage points. That mirrored his dominance among young voters in the primary.

To win as an independent, Mr. Cuomo would have had to maintain the coalitions he assembled when he ran in the primary and also secure the votes of many Republicans.

His effort to win over Republicans was bolstered by a late endorsement by President Trump, but it was not enough for Mr. Cuomo to make up the difference.

In the end, Mr. Cuomo ended up with a more than 40-point margin in precincts that Mr. Trump carried in the 2024 presidential election.

Some of the areas where Mr. Mamdani performed best were in Brooklyn. More than four out of five votes in Bushwick, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights and East Williamsburg went to Mr. Mamdani.

Meanwhile, Mr. Cuomo’s bases of support were primarily on Staten Island, as well as in parts of Queens and in ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

Amas would nurture some of the hits of a new era for Black musical theater, including “Mama, I Want to Sing!” and “Bubbling Brown Sugar.”

N.Y.C. Mayoral Candidates Deliver Final Appeals Before Election

On Monday, New York City’s three mayoral candidates made a final attempt to drum up support from voters the day before the election. Over 735,000 people have already voted early, more than four times the amount over the same period of time in 2021, according to the Board of Elections.

: “Cuomo, Cuomo.” “Zohran, Zohran.” “We need to get the vote. Tomorrow’s the last day.” “We have not only come so far, we stand on the verge of ushering in a new day for our city.” “I plan to vote for Zohran Mamdani because I believe in his message of affordability for New Yorkers. We make good livings, and yet it’s still a struggle to have two children in this city. Between daycare costs, rent, price of groceries and myriad other factors, we still don’t feel comfortable.” Chanting: “Andrew Cuomo.” “I kind of trust him, and I trust the work that he’s done in the past. I’m just comfortable with Andrew Cuomo. I liked him as governor. During Covid, I believe that he was able to handle Covid pretty well.” “Sliwa, he’s like, he’s the man’s man. He’s been around forever. He’s got street smarts. He’s got book smarts. He’s accomplished a lot. He’s got common sense and he’s got grit — like old New York.”
