Who voted for Eric Adams and Zohran Mamdani in the past two Democratic primaries?

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani have more in common than people think: overlapping support. Mamdani exceeded expectations in a likely primary win against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Given their shared appeal to more moderate Black voters, Cuomo was expected to perform well in the areas Adams won in the 2021 primary. Mamdani’s democratic socialist platform is a stark departure from Adams’ centrist approach, yet the Queens lawmaker did well in some neighborhoods – down to individual election districts – that Adams dominated in 2021. With the scandal-scarred mayor running as an independent in November, will these neighborhoods stand by Mamdani in the general election, or will Adams win them back?


- Parkchester/Westchester Square, Bronx
- Hillside Avenue corridor in Queens
- North Shore, Staten Island

But if we're going to make Mamdani & his stances the face of the party we're DOOMED in 2028
Sorry, but we're just not paying attention.

We were forced into voting for him, otherwise we would have had Sliwa (R) who is a certified Nazi and nut job. Many voted for Adams holding their nose.

The idea that actually helping regular people is a losing platform is a ridiculous stance, based on nothing more than "SOCIALISMS!!!" That idea is why we are where we are today.

Time to put the People first and positioning (by consultants) last.
