New York is holding elections for mayor, with Zohran Mamdani as the Democratic favorite and Andrew Cuomo, supported by Trump, as the main rival.

New York, the largest city in the USA, is electing its mayor in a crucial election that could influence American politics. The Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani is the favorite, but he is in a tight competition with Andrew Cuomo, a former Democrat turned independent, supported by Donald Trump. The president has attacked Mamdani, calling him a "communist" and threatening federal funding cuts if he wins.

Mamdani, a young and progressive politician, accuses Trump of wanting an obedient mayor. Cuomo, with experience as a former governor, emphasizes his achievements in managing the relationship with Trump. Republican Curtis Sliwa is participating without full support, and the outcome of the election is seen as a test for the political direction of the USA ahead of the 2024 Congressional elections.
