Democratic socialist edges further ahead of ex-mayor Andrew Cuomo and incumbent mayor Eric Adams
New York City’s mayoral race is heating up, with Zohran Mamdani, the young progressive who leapt ahead of establishment figures in the primary to win the Democratic party nomination, appeared to widen his lead over his main rivals this week.
Mamdani, 33, edged further ahead of former New York state governor Andrew Cuomo, and incumbent city mayor Eric Adams was far behind, in advance of the election this November to pick a leader for the largest city in the US.
