Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a 10 point lead over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s general election for mayor, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trails in fourth place behind Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, according to a new poll.
Mamdani has made headlines for refusing to condemn the violent phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” and for calling to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His campaign is built on populist, realistically unfeasible, promises: free bus service, city-owned grocery stores, and universal child care. How he plans to fund it all? Major tax hikes on businesses and the business class — many of whom say they’ll leave New York if the Democratic Socialist, long accused of antisemitism, wins this November.
