Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have lost the Democratic primary for mayor citywide, but he decisively won the Bronx, where he outperformed Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in dozens of neighborhoods, solidifying his stronghold in the borough’s moderate, working-class enclaves.

According to preliminary results from the New York City Board of Elections, Cuomo led Mamdani by 18 percentage points in the Bronx, earning 54% of the vote to Mamdani’s 36%, with 96% of scanners reporting. He received nearly 55,000 of the 104,000 votes across the borough—his strongest showing citywide.
