New York City Mayor Election 2025 Live: Over 1.5 Million Votes Cast by 3 pm

New York City is in the midst of a closely contested mayoral race featuring three main candidates: Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa. The election, which saw over 1.5 million votes cast by 3 pm, has garnered national attention due to the progressive Democrat Mamdani going head-to-head with independent Cuomo and Republican Sliwa. President Donald Trump’s policies have cast a shadow over the campaign, making it a significant political test post-Trump era. Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist frontrunner, has faced criticism from Trump himself, as voters decide on the next leader of America’s largest city.
