New York City voters headed to the polls Tuesday to choose a mayor in a three-way race testing a generational and ideological divide. Democrat Zohran Mamdani, 34, could become the city’s first Muslim mayor, elevating his democratic socialist agenda of free buses, universal child care and a rent freeze. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent after resigning in 2021 over sexual harassment findings, seeks a comeback with moderates and GOP support, aided by Michael Bloomberg and Mayor Eric Adams. Republican Curtis Sliwa hopes for an upset on a tough-on-crime message as Donald Trump backs Cuomo over Sliwa.
