A voter talking to CSpan declared Zohran Mamdani the “real winner,” claiming “no one voted for Cuomo.” As voting continues across the city, tensions are running high between Mamdani’s progressive supporters and Cuomo’s moderate base. With Trump’s earlier endorsement of Cuomo sparking controversy, the polls reveal a deeply divided NYC electorate ahead of the official results.

00:00I wrote I voted for Mom Donnie. And tell us why. Because I feel like there needs to be a desperate
00:05change in New York. He doesn't seem like he was doing much of like fighting back with Trump and
00:09his scandals. Well, we'll go to Leah, who's in Staten Island, New York, Democratic caller. Leah,
00:18did you vote today? Well, I early voted a week ago. Okay. Can you share with us who you voted
00:24for and why? I voted for Mom Donnie. And tell us why. So I voted for Mom Donnie because I feel like
00:33there needs to be a desperate change in New York. The past few mayors really didn't like speak to us.
00:41I mean, Eric Adams, for example, the rent raised so high with him. They, you know, he doesn't seem
00:48like he was doing much of like fighting back with Trump and his scandals, you know, really doesn't
00:53doesn't seem like he was a really good mayor. And Cuomo, we've dealt with him from, you know,
00:59for about 11 years himself. And, you know, after what we saw, New York is not that much better. I
01:04mean, I know he did something with Penn Station, but he really didn't make the MTA any better.
01:10I feel like the Democratic Party in itself abandoned their values to go more center right.
01:18And I'm ready. I'm ready to see a change for that. Leah, do you have any concerns when you hear
01:24the Republicans talking about a Democratic socialist?
01:31No, I mean, I live in Staten Island, and a lot of the population has changed. There's a lot of
01:35Middle Eastern and South Asian people. And when I hear the Republicans going back and forth about,
01:41you know, staying sticking with the party, or we know that Slewa is not going to win. So we have
01:47to vote Cuomo. It feels like how I felt, you know, arguing about what to do to stop Trump coming into
01:53presidency. So I'm not very concerned about the socialist aspect, because to be honest,
01:58Momdani's policies are very democratic and not as socialist as, as they're trying to make him seem he is.
02:05Leah, can I ask you, how old are you?
02:07Um, I'm 29.
02:10You're 29. And how are your friends voting? Your other New York resident city friends?
02:16My community, my friends around my age are all voting Momdani. I have, I don't, I don't know
02:21anybody who's voting Cuomo.
02:23All right, Leah in Staten Island, Sabrina Siddiqui, your reaction to hearing that caller?
02:29It very much fits into what I've heard when I've talked to voters about Zoran Momdani,
02:35and when I've talked to Democrats, um, strategists, pollsters, people who've been studying his
02:40campaign. And one of the key points that they make is that most of the people who are voting
02:47for Momdani are doing it because they genuinely support him. Whereas one of the challenges that
02:53Andrew Cuomo, just insofar as he's the main opposition to Momdani, has faced is that there are,
02:58there's more of a split between those who are voting to support Cuomo and those who are voting
03:04for him simply because they don't want Momdani. Um, and a lot of that speaks to just how much
03:09Momdani's message has resonated. Um, you know, polls show that most New York City residents believe
03:16that cost of living is their top issue. Um, you know, and I think that's certainly the case for
03:22Momdani's voters. Cuomo voters are a little bit more divided on cost of living and crime, but
03:26the majority of the city believes that the cost, that cost of living is the city's most important
03:31issue. Um, and they, they talk about, they talk about the cost of housing, um, and rent as, and
03:38they also talk about, um, you know, just the fact that the city has become so expensive that many of
03:44them can't afford to live there anymore. Um, and I think you're going to hear that a lot from people
03:49who cast their ballots from Momdani today, and it's going to be a really big part of what we anticipate
03:53is going to be a fairly significant victory for him. Subscribe to One India and never miss an update.
