S&P 500 rises as health care, tech gain to overshadow Fed independence concerns
Investing.com -- The New York City Election board confirmed Tuesday that Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for mayor, setting up a November contest against incumbent Eric Adams.
Mamdani, previously a New York state assembly member, secured 56% of votes in the third round of ranked-choice voting, exceeding the required 50% threshold to clinch the nomination.
Mamdani began his campaign with little public recognition before emerging as the Democratic party’s nominee.
Adams, who won his first mayoral race as a Democrat in 2021, is now running as an independent candidate. His decision to run independently follows his indictment on corruption charges, though the Department of Justice later dropped the case.
The general election is scheduled for November.
