Mammani won the record main victory, and unions, grassroots democratic groups, and the savvy selected officials seek to support him. Now the institution’s turn has come.
Zochran Mammani not just won the main major Mary in New York to his main competitor, former governor Andrew Kuoma, conceded immediately On the night of the election on June 24. Now, two weeks later, with the score of the city finally ends, and the results released, Mammani can Celebrate this fact that “our campaign has officially earned the largest number of votes in New York history.”
Updated counting, which was released on Tuesday by the New York election, found that the legislator of a democratic socialist state was Win a total of 565 639 votes. This indicator has exceeded the final calculations for the winners of some of the most epic major democratic competitions in New York history, including David Dinkins (1989 primary: 547 901), Abe Bim (1973 Primary drains: 547 626), Robert Wagner is younger. (1961. Primary: 456,016) and Ed Koch (1977 Primary drains: 433,002).
Special attention for the current race is what. As long as it was required Mayor Eric Adams Eight RCV redistribution rounds to ensure a victory of 404,000 votes (and 50.4 percent of the 49.6 vote for Catherine Garcia) in 2021, Mammani won this year in three rounds. And he did it with Another 160 000 votes and 56.2-43.8 stock Above kuom.
If even New York Post, A newspaper that has no taste to Mamman’s candidacy, Hurts acknowledges The fact that “Zochran Mammani has won most votes of the candidate in the primary history of New York” indicates a reality that notes that Democrats in New York and nationally should be noted.
Mammani’s last round has exceeded the majority of the winnings for the best finishes in previous competitions. Thus, while it is quite appropriate to note that the election dynamics in New York, party machines, basic rules and voting systems have changed over the years, there is no doubt that the Democratic candidate in the 2025 has earned the nomination with the level of support, which is engaged in places from the most difficult strikers.
Mamman enthusiasm rose so high that the overall RCV voice for its individual candidacy exceeded the total number of votes for all candidates for Democratic Mary 2017, 2009, 2005, 1997 and 1993.
Why did Mammani provide such a historical victory? Since he did exactly what the national democrats, stunned by the party’s defeat in the 2024 presidential elections, continue to say what they should do. “Zochran Mammani spoke about the questions concerning the working class. The city answered it and it won (primary),” ” interpret Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont and a two -time presidential candidate.
You might think that such a victory will lead to immediate and captured support for the best Democrats for Mammani’s nomination in the general election, where he will face the republican Kertis plum; Adams, which was launched on a scandal that missed the democratic main and works on the recent third line; And, potentially, painful-lasers of the third nomination from Kuom. Yes, Mamman-Democratic Socialist-Sanders and US representative Alexandria Okosio Cartes (D-NY). Yes, he accepted bold, progressive economic problems, advocating international and internal human rights. But, according to the main results, it is also a very popular democratic nominee for one of the most popular chosen positions in the US.
Despite this fact Leaders of the Democratic Congress who come from New York, for example, the minority leader in the Senate Chuck Sumer and the Leader of the House of Representatives Jeffrois, has not yet approved the Mammani. Also have no other famous New York Democrats, such as Governor Katiel and Senator Kirst Gilibrand – although the latter expressed Islamophobic remarks about Mammani that this She later apologized. And some Democrats representing suburban communities, such as a US representative Laura GilenThey were open in their criticism of the candidate for the party, with whom they disagree on issues, ranging from the US tax policy and support for gas attack.
The reluctance of the famous Democrats officially approved the nominee of the party led to complaints with progress. “The time of every democratic leader is on board,” – speak Labor families in New Yar Codirector Jasmine Flu. “The Mamdani tent is big enough for everyone. Any leader who is serious about creating a strenuous voters and winning will be smart to join us.”
This call is heard by some of the most savvy Democrats in New York.
Elected officials and leaders of local parties, who seriously looked at the main results, and felt that the pulse of the extended electorate of the city admit that their party is in a seismic shift. And their city. On Thursday, US representative Adriana Espoillate, a member of the House The New York Times determines As “the most powerful Latin American leader and one of the most influential voters,” and who supported Kuoma, mostly appeared in front of the crowd of union members and democratic activists in the Washington Hates to ensure the strong approval of Mamman. “The United Democratic Party cannot be defeated,” said Espailat, “we had the main ones, we had elections, and people talked.” The congressman joined the dean of the city delegation of the house, the political veteran of the Upper Western Sida Jerry Nadler, moving the support of Mammani, who also attracted after previous approval from key democratic clubs and district organizations and from the main unions that once supported Kuom.
Leaders of the Service Staff International Local 32nd, the Grozny Union, which represents tens of thousands of maintenance, guardians and janitors and windows purifiers in the city of high buildings, made only a few days after the main June 24, when the president of the union cushed – Note“The 32BJ participants have long been fighting for a city that works for workers.

Zohran Mammani united and inspired New York around a positive and optimistic vision for a truly accessible city.” Powerful Hotel and Game Tip (HTC) did the same with HTC Rich Maroko President saying“We are sure that every time we fight, Zohran will be on our side, which defends hospitality workers.” Then came the Nursing Association of New York and the Central Labor Council in New York. And on Tuesday, 200,000 members of the united teachers who did not approve of the primary, supported Mamdani who told a rally about teachers“This is a labor campaign. This is a company of organized work, and it is a company that will win in November.”
