Final Poll Shows Mamdani With an Edge Over Cuomo as New Yorkers Hold Mayoral Primary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York City voters are braving record high temperatures today to cast
ballots in the closely watched mayoral primary. On Monday, a final
independent poll showed progressive Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani edging
out disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic ranked
choice election. If no candidate receives at least 50% of the initial
vote, as predicted, New Yorkers aren't expected to have the final result
until July 1st or later. We'll have more on the NYC race for mayor later
in the broadcast and we'll speak with candidate Zohran Mamdani.
