While some candidacies barely get off the launching pad, Zohran Mamdani’s skyrocketed into history.

“To every New Yorker in Kensington and Midwood and Hunts Point, know this: this city is your city, and this democracy is yours too,” Mamdani said at his victory party on Tuesday.

What You Need To Know

• Mamdani energized new and younger voters to the polls

• His winning coalition included young voters, Brooklyn voters and South Asian voters

• He did not appear to win over a majority of Jewish voters

Still, Mamdani did not win all of those neighborhoods.

A look at turnout with maps provided by the City University of New York’s Graduate Center shows Mamdani was sent to City Hall thanks to voters across the city, with some of his strongest areas in gentrified areas of Brooklyn.

Areas where Mamdani won are in blue, Cuomo in green.

“It was a combination of the white liberal progressive areas that tend to vote for the WFP endorsed candidates, and have many times in the past, and enough of the rest of the democratic coalition in terms of the African-American neighborhoods, the Latino neighborhoods, stuck with the candidate of the party to get him over the finish line,” said John Mollenkopf, a professor of political science at the CUNY Graduate Center.

Mamdani was able to win over parts of the city he had lost to Gov. Andrew Cuomo in their June Democratic primary.

That included areas with predominantly Black voters in Brooklyn, and in southeast Queens, an area that had been seen as Cuomo’s base.

Mamdani also flipped the Bronx, where Cuomo won in June.

“The Mamdani campaign definitely brought out different sorts of new groups into the electorate, and I would include young people in that category too,” Mollenkopf said.

Other energized voters included the city’s Muslim population.

CUNY examined districts where there were concentrations of Muslim voters, and 60% of them went for Mamdani. The same could definitely not be said for Jewish voters.

Examining areas of the city where there are large numbers of Jewish voters found that almost 58% of the vote there went for Cuomo.

It’s a sign Mamdani may still have work to do with these soon-to-be constituents.
