Zohran Mamdani won the most recent New York City mayoral race and is now serving as mayor, so there is no current, ongoing vote to be “winning” as of January 2026.

Current mayor

  • Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic state assemblymember and democratic socialist, won the November 4, 2025 NYC mayoral election.
  • He defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in the general election and was sworn in as New York City mayor on January 1, 2026.

What the election result was

  • In the certified 2025 mayoral results, Mamdani won with just over half of the vote (around 50–51%), beating Cuomo by a clear margin of nearly ten points in the final tally.
  • Major outlets called the race for Mamdani on election night, projecting him as the winner once enough of the citywide vote had been counted.

Why people were asking “who’s winning”

  • Through mid‑2025, coverage and online discussions focused on who was leading between Mamdani, Cuomo, and other Democratic figures, with attention on polling, fundraising, and media narratives.
  • That “who’s winning” framing made sense before November 2025; now, the race is decided and the focus has shifted to how Mamdani will govern and implement his policy agenda as mayor.
