New York City’s voters are deciding the outcome of a generational and ideological divide that will resonate across the country Tuesday as they choose the next mayor to run the nation’s largest city. Zohran Mamdani,

New York is facing the prospect of electing a staunchly socialist pro-Palestine mayor who wants to control food prices and almost double the minimum wage.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s Jewish community — the largest in the United States — abounds with anxiety and friction a day ahead of an election that could give the city its first Muslim mayor.

New York City residents go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new mayor, with left-leaning Democrat Zohran Mamdani, who has pledged to raise taxes on the wealthy and offer free buses and childcare, considered the favourite.

Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo warn that Zohran Mamdani's prostitution stance could worsen Roosevelt Avenue crisis and spread across New York City.

Days before Election Day, the president told correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he would potentially withhold federal funds if front-runner Zohran Mamdani wins the election for NYC mayor.

Jewish voters have long reliably supported Democrats, and Mamdani won the Democratic primary, but concerns about rising antisemitism and Mamdani’s sharp criticisms of Israel have opened up a generational split.

New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani vowed to fight back against the Trump administration if elected mayor on Tuesday.
