Voters head to polls in New York City, where Zohran Mamdani is the front runner. He hopes to become the city’s first Muslim mayor, saying it’s time for a new era in politics. Other contests, including governor races in New Jersey and Virginia, are slated to be decided on Tuesday night.

Curtis Sliwa
Republican Party
1. Whereas if you've noticed, when I'm out in the streets, wherever I go, there are young people who are attracted to my campaign. Most of my campaign team is comprised of millennials and Gen Zers.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival!
2. Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!
Mike Johnson
Republican Party
1. We're going to have a Marxist — a communist — running [America's] largest city.
Zohran Mamdani
Democratic Party
1. We stand on the verge of ushering in a new day for our city.
2. There are many who say that a democratic socialist vision of governance for New York is impossible.
3. To them, I say: We need look only at our past for proof of how socialism can shape our future.
Tom Suozzi
New York Democratic Party
1. I can not back a declared socialist with a thin resume to run the most complex city in America.
2. I'm a Democratic Capitalist, not a Democratic Socialist.
Elliot Cosgrove
Park Avenue Synagogue
1. To be clear, unequivocal, and on the record: I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the New York Jewish community.
Matt Bennett
Third Way
1. The [Democratic Socialists of America] platform — which Mamdani has not repudiated — hands a potent set of weapons to Republican ad makers eager to tie Mamdani-style politics to Democrats running in much tougher places than deep blue New York.
2. A Mamdani victory is a serious political problem for those in the party who believe, as we do, that our primary focus must be on flipping red and purple seats blue, expanding the map for Democrats, and creating a path back to Congress and the White House.
David Paterson
New York State Assembly
1. The fears are generated by the same concerns that people have about President Trump.
2. He targets different audiences and speaks about whole [groups of] people in a negative way. Zohran Mamdani has done the same thing. But he's speaking about people who are regular Democrats or regular Republicans.
