NYC Mayoral Race Tightens as Sliwa Drops Out 🗳️

A new poll from AARP and Gotham Polling finds Democrat Zohran Mamdani is holding his lead at 43.2%. Independent candidate Andrew Cuomo is in second place at 28.9%, and Republican Curtis Sliwa is in third place at 19.4%.

The same poll finds Cuomo and Mamdani would be in a neck-and-neck race if Sliwa drops out - with Cuomo just four points behind Mamdani, which is within the poll's margin of error. In that scenario, Mamdani is ahead 44.6% to Cuomo's 40.7%.

"I'm not dropping out," Sliwa said. "One person, one vote. That's how we determine elections. I never heard a caveat that said one person, one vote, and of course others need to drop out along the way."
