Election Day 2025 Highlights
New York City is anticipating a notable voter turnout to select a new mayor. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s independent campaign received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, stirring public interest. Trump expressed his preference for a Democrat with a successful track record to win, rather than challenger Mamdani. Cuomo, however, reacted to the endorsement, highlighting Trump’s characterization of him as a “bad Democrat.”
