The 2025 New York City mayor's race is marked by unusual dynamics, with incumbent Eric Adams running as an independent after bypassing the Democratic primary. Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, won the primary and appeals to young voters but struggles with centrist support due to his branding. Meanwhile, Cuomo and Adams face unpopularity, and Republican Curtis Sliwa aims to succeed in a heavily Democratic city. As there are no new independent candidates permitted to enter, a write-in campaign represents the sole alternative for discontented voters.
In the 2025 New York City mayor's race, incumbent Eric Adams is running as an independent after skipping the Democratic primary, creating an unusual election landscape.
Zohran Mamdani won the primary by energizing young voters but many centrist Democrats are hesitant to support him due to his socialist branding and tax proposals.
Cuomo and Adams are unpopular among voters, while Republican Curtis Sliwa aims to prevail in a city dominated by registered Democrats.
With no new independent candidates able to enter, a coordinated write-in campaign could be the only option for voters dissatisfied with current candidates.
