Primary Day is finally here. After months of campaigning, things have reached a boiling point—and we're not just talking about the hellishly hot weather.
Will Andrew Cuomo, coasting largely on name recognition and tens of millions of dollars in super PAC spending, overcome a sluggish, phoned-in campaign to win the Democratic mayoral nomination? Or will one of the most improbable upsets in New York City electoral history take place, with democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani riding the wave of his late-breaking momentum all the way to victory?
Oh, right—there's also primary races for comptroller, public advocate, and borough presidents, as well as a handful of competitive City Council races. Want to read our previous election coverage? Go here.
Hell Gate's live blog will be humming all day, as our reporters fan out across the city to talk to voters and keep an eye on the polling sites. Also, be sure to tune in tonight to Hell Gate's primary election livestream, starting at 8:30 p.m.!
