New York City voters are choosing their next mayor, closing out an eventful campaign between Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

In the wake of his unexpected Democratic primary victory, 34-year-old democratic socialist Mamdani has been actively working to expand his support base. He aims to win over voters who might be uneasy about his critical stance on Israel's government and his previous endorsements of progressive policies, like defunding the police. Meanwhile, his political opponents have been re-energizing their campaigns, hoping to chip away at his lead.
