(NewsNation) — NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ has called the New York City mayoral race in favor of Zohran Mamdani.

The high-profile, three-way contest featured Democratic Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — running as an independent — and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, entered Tuesday’s election as the favorite to succeed Mayor Eric Adams after winning the Democratic primary over the summer.

Adams, who won in 2021 as a moderate, tough-on-crime Democrat, ended his reelection campaign in September after his chances of winning dimmed.

The outgoing mayor later endorsed Cuomo, in a race that came to symbolize a divided Democratic Party still searching for its identity in the wake of President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory.
