New York – New York City Democrats will decide on Tuesday if they should Restart the political career of Andrew Cuomo, Increase liberal upStart ZOHRAN MAMDANIOr turn to a busy field of less well -known but perhaps less polarizing candidates in the mayors primarily of the party.

Their choice could say something What kind of leader Democrats are looking for President Donald Trump’s second term.

The mood takes place on a sizzling day about four years after Cuomo resigned as governor after a sexual harassment scandal. Yet the 67-year-old during the race was the favorite, with his deep experience, almost universal name recognition, strong political connections and Juggernaut fundraising equipment.

The progressive wing of the party has since been merged behind Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-written democratic socialist. A relatively unknown state legislator when the competition started, Mamdani received a momentum by a competitive campaign passer aimed at the high costs of living and insured notes of two of the most important progressives in the country, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Although the provisional return will be released after the polls closed on Tuesday at 9 p.m., there may be a winner for a week because of the ranked choice of the city, with which voters can state a maximum of five candidates in order of preference. If a candidate is the first choice of the majority of voters, they win downright. If no candidate reaches the threshold, the tabulation of the rankings would not start until July 1.

The primary winner will be confronted with sitting mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who decided to walk as an independent in the midst of a public commitment about his indictment against corruption and the subsequent left of the case by the Ministry of Trump. Republican Curtis SliwaThe founder of the Guardian Angels will be in the mood in the general elections of autumn.

The two leading candidates of the mayors Primary-de A progressive and the other are an older moderate of the face-can stand-ins for the ideological gap of the larger Democratic party, although Cuomo’s scandal-scandige past adds a unique shade to the story.

The rest of the peloton has difficulty getting recognition in a race where almost every candidate has thrown himself as the person who is best positioned to challenge Trump’s Republican agenda.

Comproller Brad Lander, a liberal city council of Ray, made a splash last week when he was arrested after he had connected weapons to a man who tried to hold federal agents to an immigration court in Manhattan. It was unclear whether that episode was sufficient to start a campaign that had not collected the speed behind the Wonkish atmosphere of Lander.

Among the other candidates are the speaker of the city council Adrienne Adamsis Senator Zellnor Myrie, Hedgefonds -director Whitney Tilson and former city computer Scott Stringer.

The energetic run of Mamdani was difficult not to notice it.

His army of young hipster wipes knocked relentlessly on doors in the city to seek support. Posters of his grinning mug were on shop windows. You could not get on social media without seeing one of his well-produced videos that are his vision Pitchen-Free buses, free childcare, new apartments, a higher minimum wage and more, paid by new taxes on the rich. He would be the first Indian American and first Muslim mayor of the city.

Cuomo and some other Democrats have cast Mamdani as unqualified. They say that he does not have the management carbonades to squeeze the vast bureaucracy of the city or to process crises. Critics have also focused on the support of Mamdani for Palestinian human rights.

In response, Mamdani Cuomo beat his sexual harassment scandal and his handling of the Corona Pandemie.

In a heated debate exchange, Cuomo rattled a long list of what he saw as Mamdani’s management, with the argument that his opponent, who has been in the state meeting since 2021, never dealt with the congress or trade unions and never supervised an infrastructure project. He added that Mamdani could not be trusted to go toe with Trump.

Mamdani had a counter ready.

“I never had to resign in shame for Mr Cuomo,” he said.

Cuomo R originated in 2021 After a report from the Attorney General of the State, concluded that he had sexually harassed at least 11 women. He has always maintained that he did not deliberately harass the women and said that he had just fallen behind what was considered appropriate work.

During the campaign he became more aggressive in defending himself, which imposed the situation as a political hit that is orchestrated by his enemies.

The fresh scandal in the town hall in which mayor Eric Adams were involved, however, gave Cuomo a path to end his exile.
