After Mamdani secured his spot as the Democratic nominee, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams entered the race as an independent along with Andrew Cuomo, the former New York governor who Mamdani beat in the primary. The fourth major candidate in the mayoral race is Republican Curtis Sliwa, who ran for mayor in 2021.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, has rocketed past his rivals in fundraising, bringing in a little more than $1 million in recent weeks, according to new campaign reports filed Friday.

The AARP New York-Gotham Polling & Analytics poll​ surveyed 1,376 likely voters, and found Mamdani well ahead of his nearest challengers with 41.8% support.
