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.

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.
