Democrats in New York made their votes today, Tuesday, to choose their candidate to compete for the next mayor of the largest American city, a person who will have to stand in the face of President Donald Trump and alleviate the high cost of living.
Despite the presence of about 10 candidates with different personalities and proposals, the competition is an intense competition between the former ruler Andro Kumo, 67, and a member of the New York State State Association, Zahran Mamdani, 33, who has become a sudden challenge for the ruler who is the most fortunate candidate and is more known even though he faced a scandal in the past.
The preliminary election winner will be the Democrats Tuesday in the general elections scheduled for next November in a city where the number of Democrats exceeds the number of Republicans at a rate of 3 against 1.
In August 2021, the New York Prosecutor Le Tisha James Como accused 11 women, and then resigned to be forced by his brother Chris, a well -known broadcaster on the “CNN” network and who was a consultant to his campaign, to do the same, but after only 4 years, supporters of the candidate welcomed him on several occasions after he was nominated for the mayor in March.
Komo remained the most fortunate for the largest part of the race, but some recently released polls revealed that Mamdani reduces the difference between them until he made it a very little difference.
Mamdani is represented by the Queens region at the New York State Association and describes himself as progress and Muslim, and has the support of two left -wing characters, which are widely popular, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Okazio Cortez.
Mamdani mobilized an army of young volunteers through a social media campaign in which he pledged to reduce the high cost of living through free buses and kindergartens and prevent increased rents in a city in which a 3 -room apartment can cost 6 thousand dollars per month.
Mamdani said, in a publication on social media on Monday evening, which included a video recording in which he appealed to the voters, that “tomorrow if we want it.” “We are on the verge of overthrowing a political basis and making New York affordable for everyone,” he added.
Meanwhile, the current New York mayor Eric Adams, who is accused of cooperation with the Trump administration in exchange for dropping federal charges facing corruption, confirmed that he will be nominated as an independent figure.
Although the heat wave that currently strikes the city can lead to a decline in participation rates in the polling, about 380,000 voters have made their votes so far. The regime, which requires voters, is difficult to set a list of their five preferred candidates in order, viewing views.
