Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is still the frontrunner in the June 24 Democratic primary to replace Mayor Eric Adams amid early voting and with Election Day fast approaching.
Cuomo, who is seeking a political revival after stepping down in 2021 following nearly a dozen sexual misconduct allegations that he denies, has dominated the packed Democratic primary field since entering the race on March 1. But he is facing a serious challenge from Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist who has been consistently polling in second place for weeks.
