Mamdani Outraises Cuomo, Adams Combined
Mamdani Outraises Cuomo, Adams Combined
Socialist Zohran Mamdani significantly outraised both former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in the latest fundraising file for the New York City mayoral election, which is less than three months away.
According to a Saturday filing from the New York City Campaign Finance Board, Mamdani raised $1,051,200 from July 12 to Aug. 18, with an average donation of $121. During the same five-week period, Cuomo, who is running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani, raised $507,660, while also transferring over an additional $68,225 from a separate state campaign account. Adams’s total for the period came in below both of them at $420,886, but with an average donation of $723. Curtis Sliwa, who is the Republican candidate, raised $407,332.
The new fundraising numbers come as a boon to Mamdani, who has the most cash on hand in the race. After the latest figures, the socialist candidate has a $4.4 million war chest, while Cuomo, Mamdani’s closest challenger, has nearly $1.2 million on hand.
They also mark a turnaround for his campaign from the previous filing period, which was from mid-June to mid-July. During that period, Mamdani raised $853,018, which Adams nearly doubled at $1,556,155. Cuomo reported under $100,000 for that time, while Sliwa received $169,244.
Recent polling has indicated Mamdani is dominating the competition.
According to a polling average from RealClearPolitics, Mamdani is 15 percentage points ahead of Cuomo, 38.2% to 23.2%, and holds commanding leads over both Sliwa and Adams, who are polling at 16.6% and 10.6%, respectively.
Despite the large gap, all have vowed to stay in the race, with Cuomo saying on Friday that Mamdani’s “appeal is going to drop dramatically.”
“A lot is going to happen between now and then. I don’t think the public even knows who the assemblyman is, what he represents, what his positions are. So I think the more they find out about him, the less they’re going to like him,” he said.
