Zohran Mamdani, a front-runner in the New York City mayor’s race, will announce a second cross-endorsement with Michael Blake, a former state lawmaker.

The New York Times editorial board on Monday encouraged voters not to support far-left Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral race. The NYT editorial board wrote that while they believe Mamdani “offers the kind of fresh political style for which many people are hungry,

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

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is positioning himself as the working-class candidate in this year’s mayoral race.

Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani are leading the Democratic field. Even they seem nervous.

Early voting is underway ahead of next week’s primary day in New York City, and that often revives questions about how to cast your vote using the ranked choice system. Ranked choice voting is fairly new in the city.

Tough is a preferred adjective Cuomo employs to convey a manly tenacity. His X account thrice referred to the New York Knicks during their playoff run as “tough,” including assessing an April 24 win against the Detroit Pistons with the message: “The @nyknicks were New York Tough tonight.”
