Can Mamdani Win NYC Mayor Without Majority Support?

Could a candidate become NYC mayor without winning a majority? Zohran Mamdani is leading in the polls but may fall short of 50%, potentially winning despite most voters picking someone else. This hasn't happened in recent NYC history, as past mayors won with over 66% of the vote. Facing both Cuomo and Sliwa, Mamdani's path is complicated, raising questions about his mandate and potential challenges pushing his agenda. His campaign is mobilizing volunteers to reach the 50% mark, while supporters argue his passion and energy can overcome a lack of majority support. The influx of young, new voters could also sway the election in his favor, signaling a desire for change even without a sweeping victory. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
