If Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral election in November, he may discover what his predecessors did — mayoralty is a graveyard for political careers.

President Donald Trump suggested that the federal government may have to take over the Big Apple if Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani wins his election

In the poll by Slingshot Strategies, first reported by the New York Post, Mamdani has 36 percent of the vote compared to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo 's 27 percent and current New York City Mayor Eric Adams' 14 percent. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa landed 16 percent of the vote and independent candidate Jim Walden received 2 percent.

Representative Adriano Espaillat, the most powerful Latino leader in New York City, backed Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor.
