New York City voters are choosing their next mayor, as Zohran Mamdani faces former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a generational battle between Democrats while Republican Curtis Sliwa tries to land a massive upset. A victory for Mamdani in Tuesday’s election would give the city its first Muslim mayor and its youngest leader in generations, while giving his brand of economic populism one of the most visible political perches in America. If Cuomo wins, he will have staged a remarkable political comeback after resigning as governor over a barrage of sexual harassment allegations four years ago. Sliwa faces tough odds as a Republican in a heavily Democratic city. Polls close at 9 p.m.
