Despite the ongoing heatwave, New Yorkers are heading to the polls on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, to vote in the mayoral primary election in New York City. The latest polls suggest a close tie between former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. The winner of the primary will become the Democratic nomination for the upcoming election in November.

New York Democrats cast ballots Tuesday under smothering summer heat to choose the likely next leader of the largest U.S. city, someone voters say must resist President Donald Trump and provide relief to high costs of living. With about a dozen candidates offering a range of personalities and proposals, the race is an increasingly tight contest between former governor Andrew Cuomo, 67, and state assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, 33, who has mounted a surprise challenge to the better-known but tainted frontrunner.
