With little over one week left until the mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani’s momentum against Andrew Cuomo is drawing widespread opposition to stop him from winning the Democratic nomination and likely City Hall.

With a week remaining in a tightening mayoral primary race, wealthy supporters of Andrew Cuomo are pouring millions of dollars into efforts to boost his campaign and halt the momentum of his chief rival, Zohran Mamdani. Allies of the socialist assemblyman are mounting their own comparatively modest effort to topple the front-runner.

The New York Times and the New York Post editorial boards do not agree on much – but they’re both hoping the 33-year-old Assembly member does not become New York City’s next mayor.

The newspaper’s editorial board said Mamdani’s agenda “reads like a turbocharged version of Mr. de Blasio’s dismaying mayoralty.”

In an interview with Bon Appétit, the NYC mayoral candidate talks about eating with his hands in public, jokes about the Muslim Four Loko, and how he convinced Madhur Jaffrey to be in his hip-hop video.

Zohran Mamdani has won over young, left-leaning New Yorkers with his energy and progressive ideas. But is he capable of running the largest city in the country?

Fare-free businesses should be the future. It would drive up bus and subway ridership and be an economic engine,” Transport Workers Union president John Samuelsen said.
