Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo took a last-minute shot at Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, calling him an "extreme far socialist." Cuomo trails Mamdani by nearly 15% in the RCP Average of polls going into election day.

The highly contested mayoral race in New York City has drawn criticism from billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk. Here's why.

Democratic socialism is having a moment, between Zohran Mamdani's buzzy mayoral campaign in New York City, Omar Fateh's candidacy in the Minneapolis mayoral race and the ongoing influence of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen.

While Zohran Mamdani's reception by the Democratic Party has been mixed, his energy and charisma is undeniable and has made him the frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race. It has also earned him with support and praise of former President Barack Obama.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old state lawmaker, already defeated Cuomo once in the Democratic primary, energizing progressives to score a surprise victory over the once-powerful former governor with a campaign that focused on lowering the cost of living in one of the country’s most expensive cities.

According to various videos circulating, partygoers across the city were in for a surprise as Mamdani, 34, was spotted bopping behind DJ booths, MCing street parties, and participating in Halloween dance memes. The clips are gaining traction across TikTok, but the response has been mixed.
